Special uncle to many nieces and nephews and great uncle to great nieces and nephews.  Predeceased by his parents Sadie and Wylie Jones. 

George was a special man who volunteered for many organizations and was recognized for his dedication to the community.  Some of his achievements include recognition for his help with the Legion and recently receiving the appreciation medal.  He received the Public Service Award from Vespra Township, was recognized for service with the Springwater Policing Committee, the volunteer award with the Midhurst Newsletter, and had 22 years of invaluable contribution to the Sara Vista Long Term Care Home.  The Sno-Voyageurs Club was a special interest of his.  He spent many years snowmobiling and preparing trails for sledders.  He also enjoyed helping out at the Simcoe County Museum.  Recognition also came to him for his fun participation in many events.  He was a willing participant whenever the call for help came from his many friends, neighbours and family.  He was a friend to many.

The family would like to thank the special doctors and nurses who took such excellent compassionate care of George at Georgian Bay General Hospital.
