George retired from Marine Atlantic in 1998 after 32 years of service. He served as a volunteer fireman for 22 years, and was a faithful member of St. James Anglican Church Men's choir for many years. George enjoyed wood crafting, loved to cook, entertain his family and friends, play the ugly stick, and back in his day, he could really dance up a jig. He was known to tell a few jokes and recite a few tales, and he also enjoyed screeching in mainlanders who joined the family. George was a loving and caring soul who enjoyed life. He loved his life on the water, and he loved to see the children enjoy their time on "George's Wharf". George would give you the shirt off his back, and he loved every one of his family members dearly. He especially looked forward to his annual trips to Ontario to visit with his daughters and grandchildren, and tremendously enjoyed when they came home to Newfoundland. George will be greatly missed, forever remembered, and always loved.
