PHALEN, GEORGE

Passed peacefully with this family  by his side, at the age of 69, on April 28, 2014. He was preceded in death by his loving wife Bonnie (nee Beveridge). George will be sadly missed by his sisters Glenda Kennedy (Rendell 1942-2009), Marie Pellerin (Donnie) and sisters-in-law Barb  Norman (Rick), Wendy Beveridge (Fergus), and Robin Mathon (Maurice) as well as many nieces, nephews and their families. George was known for his unique philosophy on life and  sense of humour, he loved to laugh, fish and get together with family.
George was an “early adopter ” and found great satisfaction from his love of technology. With cremation completed, the family will hold a private celebration of George’s life. Our sincere thanks to the staff of St. Joe’s ICU for their care and dedication.

    I was so shocked to hear about George’s passing, we just recently reconnected through Facebook. The one memory I have is when my dad Dave and George found this kite that had landed in the driveway of our townhouse. They ran up and down that driveway with that kite so many times till my dad tripped and ended up having to have his ring cut off at the hospital. The nurse stitched him up and said ” ok boys go back to playing but be more careful” That was the kind of guy George was full of fun and you never knew what he would come up with next. My sympathies and prayers are with your family now and always. Saying good-bye is never easy, but knowing he and dad are again flying that kite in Gods garden helps bring some peace.
