Passed away peacefully at Oakville's Ian Anderson House on September 12 in the care of his family. Survived by Genevieve (nee Granger), his extraordinary, loving wife of nearly 60 years. Predeceased by his dear, beloved daughter Colleen and deeply missed by daughters Lynda and Alison. Loving "Grandpa" to Justin (Alisha), Lindsay (Kevin), Katie, Rebecca and Megan. Respected father-in-law to Ron Murray and Brian Ellison. Fondly remembered by sister Eleanor Cox of Goderich, Ontario and her husband Michael. Brother-in-law to Anna and Lyle Lemon of Straffordville, Ontario, Helen and Ray Kennedy of Aylmer, Ontario and Evelyn and Loyall Granger of Port Burwell, Ontario. Predeceased by Bill and Gloria Granger and by Charles Granger. Remembered as kindly "Uncle George" by his many nieces and nephews. George was born and raised in Port Dalhousie, Ontario and moved to Oakville in the late 1950's. He was an active member of St. Hilda's Anglican Church and later joined the Church of the Epiphany where he sang in the choir well past his 85th birthday. For years he was a senior salesman for Stanley Tools and he capped his career by becoming Canadian Sales Manager for the Kirsch Company. To all he was simply "George", a genuine, fun-loving individual. He is especially remembered for his musical talents and as a wonderful dancer. George made many friends across Canada during his travels. He was always ready with a firm handshake and had many stories to share. He loved a good joke even if it might be at his own expense! In later years he was very close to his grandchildren who remember his kindness and gentle manner. The family extends its sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff at Ian Anderson House, Dr. Helen Pyle for her care of George during his final months, and also to the Acclaim Health Home Care staff. Thanks also to the Reverend Suzanne Craven of the Church of the Epiphany. George's funeral will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, September 19 at the Church of the Epiphany (141 Bronte Road in Oakville). The family encourages donations to the Ian Anderson House Foundation (www.ianandersonhouse.com) and the Church of the Epiphany.
