It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George William Duly on February 2, 2019 at the age of 93, surrounded by his loving wife and children. Beloved husband of Marguerite (nee Misener), proud and loving father of Greg (Delores) and Nola (Mike). Adoring grandfather to Amanda (Mick), Ryan (Echo), Evan, Robert (Velvet) and Meaghan (Ben) as well as his eight great grandchildren Alanna, Tristan, Aaron, Paige, Abigail, Riley, Ryan and Emma. George will be remembered for his love of singing, love of nature and gardening and his faithful devotion to his wife and family. He was known for his ability to make and keep friends, as well as his story telling, wit and humour. George was an active member of the Lutheran Church and a long standing member of their choir. He was known for his generosity in helping others in need and his ability to make all types of people feel comfortable in his presence. Our family is deeply grateful for the wonderful care and personal compassion provided by the dedicated staff of Right at Home, who made his last weeks and hours comfortable, allowing him to enjoy his last moments with his beloved family.
