He loved his family. He is predeceased by 3 sisters and 3 brothers and survived by his sister Vicki Gibson.
George was a long-time member of the Men's Victoria Curling Club, the Royal Canadian Legion, The CPO Association and the Korean Veterans Association. He played on the Navy Softball team and coached for 2 years. He was an active member in the creation of the original Centennial swimming pool. George and Helen became snowbirds and travelled many happy years to Palm Springs, where George arranged weekly poker games, morning coffees and happy hours. They made many new friends.
George joined the RCN Sept 1949 and did two tours of duty during the Korean War on the destroyer HMCS Cayuga 1950 and HMCS Crusader 1952. He continued to serve until retirement in 1980. George was honoured to serve his country. George and Helen revisited South Korea in 2014 and the people of South Korea acknowledged their appreciation, and honored him for his service.
