I was happy to have worked with George on his ORCA and ORCA Health applications (Operational Research and Criteria Analysis; not the killer whale). We worked together via 'Netmeeting' years befor it became the norm to collaborate online. Years earlier I found a document written by George on the topic of VTS in the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the geography graduate student room at UVic. It planted a seed which turned into my masters thesis and a career in marine accident research and investigation. Thank you George and my condolences to your family at your loss.

We wanted to express our condolences to you all. Dad so loved to chat with George and spoke of him often and fondly over the years. Our sympathies, Jan and Kurt Neilsen, Bracebridge. Shirl and Glenn Morningstar, Port Elgin. Bruce and Barb Bushell, Kinlough. Betty Anne and Brian Thompson, Kincardine.

I was George’supervisor in Geography at the U of T. He was one the best student I encountered during my long career in geography. His masters thesis was exceptional. I am sorry for your loss. It appears he led a full and positive life.

We have many happy memories of George: Birding together. We particularly remember the time the RCMP told us to "move along" when we were trying to observer grasshopper sparrows in a restricted area!. Watermelon parties, with voting on the best watermelons and cantaloupes, along with homemade wine. Conversations on special relativity and climate change at the Walker's carol sing. George enjoyed this more than the singing! George's lecture on plants at one of Joan's Monarch Teachers Network workshops. He took everyone on a walking tour behind Carine Wilson Highschool identifying every plant we came across! We have missed him since his move to Southern Ontario. We are saddened that we will never see him again. Joan and Dan

Joanne and family, We extend our deepest sympathy to you all at this difficult time. George was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed. Sending our love.
