I’m sorry we didn’t get to know George better during his short time here. Since we were both ex-Winnipegers, we might have had a lot to talk about. If there is anything Audrey and I can do for you, please let us know.

Dear Marion and Family,
We are sorry to learn of George’s passing. I look back to the old Vic Book Days with fond memories. George played such an important role in making the company a success. But more important was his common sense ,and encoureagement to each of us. I can still the twinkle in his eye and pipe in in thoughtful repose.
It was a privilege to have worked with George.
Sincerely,
Don

My condolence to you Marion,David,Carol and Chris. I am saddend by your loss. His loss has brought back a lot of great memories of my time at Vic Book. Over those years George became more of a friend rather than and employer. I will always remember him for letting me drive “The Red Mustang” especially in the summers with top down….always took a slight detour to Willows Beach….lol

George,
I have only known you for a short time but it is a real treasure to have had the opportunity to get to know you- you were so kind and welcoming; your humour always made me smile and you had a wonderful way of sharing your stories. You are so loved by everyone in your life and I have come to love you too. I will miss you.

Marian,
I admire you so much – your love for George was so apparent in the amazing care you gave him. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I hope you will find peace and joy in the memories you have of your life with George. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of his last days.

Chris, David, Carol & Sandy & Ed,
You did great work in the care you gave to your Dad and Mom – I saw such a depth of love and compassion in how you helped them through this time. I am deeply sorry for your loss as well and wish for you peace and joy in the memories you have of your Dad.

To George’s Grandchildren,
Your beautiful pictures and notes to your Grandpa showed how much love you all had for him and he for you. You have precious memories and stories (and card games) to remember and tell – these will keep your Grandpa’s memory alive for you.
