George was born and raised in Nipawin, Saskatchewan. After high school, George’s banking career started with the Bank of Montreal in Nipawin spanning posts in three provinces and retired with the Weyburn Credit Union. In 1987, George and Irene “semi-retired” to Courtenay, BC when they purchased the Anco Motel with their partners. In 1999, George and Irene retired to Medicine Hat. Over the years, George was active with Weyburn Kinsmen and K-40, Happy Hatter’s and the Chartwell community, just to name a few. He especially enjoyed the Desert Aire community in Indio, CA that George and Irene called home every winter. George’s network of friends encompassed any group or project he was involved with, and he enjoyed many.
