He loved his family which included his wife Dianne of 42 years, his children, his grandchildren and his great grandchildren. He began his journey through life on a raft in BC where his family owned a logging operation. His love of the natural world began there. He was a Huckleberry Finn character from the start. George was a passionate participant in life. His work as a chiropractor of 55 years was all encompassing and knew no bounds. He practiced in Edinburgh, Scotland; Waterloo and Sarnia. He loved his work of relieving people of their pain and was always excited to see his next patient. George’s generosity ensured that no one was ever refused treatment. George enjoyed many years of fly fishing with his friends in Maine. His carpentry hobby kept him out of trouble at home. Following his retirement, In his late eighties, he reveled in his volunteer work as a docent at the Judith and Norman Alix Gallery in Sarnia where he made many good friends. George always wanted to go out of the house because that’s where the people were. He just loved humanity. Talking to youth as they cast vision for their futures was something he felt compelled to do; in the grocery line, on a park bench, at a cafe! He could see a person’s potential, even when they could not. He was their cheering section, and encouraged many people, young and older to continue learning. Nothing exhilarated him more than a brilliant conversation. He could talk to anyone about anything, so diverse were his interests. A lifelong learner and reader of good books, Geo will be missed by the Sarnia Public Library and his favourite bookstore, The Bookeeper in Sarnia. His very last words on this earth were to his friend Jody, “I just want to learn something new every day”. Geo would often spend time pondering poetry and his favourite line of all was of Henry David Thoreau, “Time is but the stream I go a fishing’ in”.
