Born in Romania, George arrived in Canada in 1990 and made Fort Macleod his new place of residence. A carpenter by trade he often found time to work on home projects refinishing antique furniture.
His passion for fishing surpassed all others, taking every opportunity to spend a day casting his fishing rod in hopes of landing the “Big One.” On July 1, 2008 George was fatally injured while returning from a fishing trip. He will be sorely missed.
A memorial service was held in the Chapel of Eden’s Funeral Home, Fort Macleod on Monday, July 7, 2008, at 1 p.m. with Leslie Scott officiating.
