LEAHY, George - 1918 - 2005

Surrounded by family, our Dad/Grandpa passed away gently and with great dignity at the Calgary Chinook Hospice on Wednesday, December 7, 2005. A short-term resident of Calgary, he was born, raised and lived a full and wonderful life in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan with many friends and his loving family. He was a cowboy at heart, a beekeeper for his hobby, and a CPR man by trade with a true love of trains. His friends will remember him for his easy going disposition and his whistle. George was someone who whistled his way through life. A big man with an incredibly big heart, George always put his family first. He leaves us to cherish his witty sense of humor and loving memories, including his children, Brian (Sheila), Darcy (Wayne), and Donna (Brian), his grandchildren, Kelly, Erin, Cherie (Darin), Maegan, Courtney, Kelcie, Luke and Jude, his sister, Celestine (Anne and Jim) and brother Joe (Louise) (Elaine, Kim, Suzanne, Faye, Glenn, Stacy, Stevie, Linda, Scott, Patrick, Katie). Our heart felt thanks to the dedicated care givers of Signature Care, The Good Companions, Helping Hands, Westview Lodge, The Nursing Co., and especially in our final hours the angels on earth at the Chinook Hospice. The Celebration of George's life will be held in Moose Jaw, SK, Sunday, December 11, 2005 at W.J.Jones & Son Chapel at 2 p.m. Interment will follow at Rosedale Cemetery beside his loving wife, Marie. Memorials to a charity of choice, would be appreciated. In living memory of George, a tree will be planted in Wakamow Valley by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home.
