Obituary of George Francis Rose

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Francis Rose on Thursday October 8th, 2020 in his 91st year. George will be greatly missed by his loving wife Venice, children Tracey (Giancarlo Predeceased), Greg (Rhonda), Amanda (Steven), and Dale, his Grandchildren, Danya, Jonathan (Sam), Darby, Grace, Marley, Brandon, Katherine & John, and sister-in-law Margaret who lives in Lyme Regis, England. Predeceased by his brothers John and Roy, sons David & Joey and son-in-law Giancarlo.Born in England in 1929, George emigrated to Canada in 1952 after serving his country overseas as a member of the Royal Engineers. George lived a colorful life, working various jobs across Canada. Some most memorable being, his leadership at a Western Canadian jail bush, and his 30 years at Nortel in Brampton with the Facilities Engineering Department. Through his retirement, George worked with the Commissionaires at Pearson Airport, and enjoyed his time bartending at his favorite local pub in Brampton, and at his much loved trailer on Georgian Bay, where he enjoyed the company of many friends and family. George loved to share old stories, sing songs, play trivia, tell jokes, and recite poetry... always a character and such great fun! He was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion branch 604 as well as a lifetime member of the Masons and the Scottish Rose Croix Rite.
