O’HEARN, George Wilfred
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George in his 85th year.
Surrounded by family at Mississauga Hospital after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years Lucy (Casey), daughter Carolyn (Mick) and son Ron. His beloved grandchildren Brennan (Paula), Megan, Patrick, George and Sierra. His sisters Nina and Bertha (Dolly)(Dave) and brothers-in-law Rick (Anne-Marie), and Keith (Barb) Casey and sisters-in-law Jeannie, Mary (John), Ruth (Darrell) and Myrna.
He is predeceased by his parents George and Bertha (Webb), his brothers David Harding and Gordon and his sisters Jean and Virginia (Tootsie). His in-laws Harry and Blanche Casey, brothers-in-law Ed Roberts, Cal Baker, Charlie Spriggs, Ronnie, Ralph and Brent Casey, Raymond Hendsbee and sister-in law Frances.
George leaves behind a large legacy of nieces and nephews who he thought the world of. His three furry family members Diva, Prince and Jack. His very good friend Dennis Norman who was more like a brother and always there for him.
Born and raised in Canso, NS, George spent many years on the water whether it be the ocean or later lakes in different capacities for both work and pleasure. His love of fishing and hunting carried on through his life until he physically couldn’t do it anymore. After moving to Ontario 60 odd years ago his annual trips back to home to see his beloved family and friends every summer were the highlight of his year.
Cremation has already taken place. A service and celebration of life will take place in the summer of 2025 when we can bring George back home to Canso, NS where he wanted his final resting place to be. Further dates will be shared when available.
Sincere condolences to Lucy, Carolyn and Ron

I have very fond memories of George when we spent many a long weekend at his cottage in Wiarton. He was always so happy to have a crowd of us with our kids show up.
Many condolences to Lucy, Carolyn and the family on the loss of such a significant part of your family. George’s love for his family will live on in your hearts forever.
