The volunteer service was of great importance to George and he did this for well over 19 years.
George was preceded in death by his parents, his former wife Victoria, and his brother-in-law Carney Champion. George is survived by his wife Hazel, his brother-in-law Ciro Toma and his wife Kim, his sister Catherine Champion, and numerous nieces and nephews.
