Hello Zena. Please except our deepest condolences to youself and to your family on the passing of George. I meet George back in 1972 when he was a waiter at a downtown Toronto Pub(The Pretzel Bell)and we both then managed to gain employment with the City of Toronto. We lost contact for a few years and during that period I bought a place on Chemung Lake(1979) and was hired by the City of Peterborough(1986)and much to my surprise who was working there,George. For 36 years I have known him and he has always brought a smile to my face. For the last 10 years we have worked very close together and we have shared hours and hours of laughter,the fact of the matter is that you either liked George or you didn't,In my case,I loved him,he had a hard shell but underneath he was a very sensitive,understanding and compassionate person and he shared that with me and I admired him very dearly for that quality, He always talked about the Grandchildren and we would always figure out ways to get them some ice time at Northcrest. I had the privilege of knowing him and working with him and to me that will always be a honour. I am sure I will see you or the kids and we can talk more. I apologize for not seeing you at the Funeral Home as I was endeared to prior commitments. I found out about his passing on Thurs after work at 4:30 pm and the best I was able to do was get to the Funeral home on Fri at 1:00 pm and share a final prayer with him. My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of a dear friend,George will be in my memories forever and that I will cherish. Please let Darien,Julien and Riley know that I can always workout some ice time for them when needed,I start at Northcrest on Nov 20th,I work nights all winter. They can call-745-0042-(Northcrest)or just drop by the rink when I am around and I'll hook them up. I know George would like that. Again, deepest condolences from our family to you and your family,we have lost a kindred spirit. Alan Nykyforchyn & Family
