George Perry

George Perry, a resident of RR2 Chesterville for the past 17 years, passed away suddenly at the Ottawa Heart Institute on Mon., June 23, 2008. He was 73.
He was born in Toronto on May 27, 1935 to his parents Eldon and Alice Perry (nee Lepine).

George will be fondly remembered by his family and friends for his dry sense of humour and his interest in hunting and golfing. He enjoyed reading National Geographic magazine and then quizzing his grandchildren on various topics, watching "The Duke" on the old movies, and drinking his CC and water, which he had drank in every state except Alaska. He was well respected in the business field.
He is survived by his wife Jeanne, his children Sheila Appleton of Brockville, John (Wanda) of RR1 Chesterville, Neil (Colleen) of Sunderland, and by his siblings Robert (Leslie) of Guelph, Shirley Dynes-Hutchinson (George) of Pickering, as well as Barbara (John) Kaszuba of Thunder Bay.
