Posted: January 19th, 2013
George Robert Span, beloved father of Amy Span of Lethbridge, Alberta tragically passed away in his Lethbridge home, on January 14, 2013 at the age of 58 years.

He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his mother Francina Span, sister Sylvia Span, nieces Nicole Tolsma and Regina Span, and brother-in-law George Tolsma. All who knew George knew he sought people with kindred spirit. From his long hair, his once-in-awhile cowboy hat, and his not so funny jokes… This is the George we all know and love, whom we will continue to cherish forever.

I don’t know if I ever met George, but I knew of him. I am an old classmate of his brother, Tim, and a friend of the family….and your loss saddens me.
I just wanted to send my condolences, and let the extended family know that they are in my prayers.
