Obituary
GALE —George Gale of London passed away on September 19, 2006 after a short battle with liver damage at the age of 69 . There was some dispute as to how to sum up his character and existence and this seems to do it. Somewhere George Gale heard a drum that no one else could hear and he was determined to march to it. Beloved husband of Eleanor (Moriarity) Gale. Dear father of Angus Gale and his wife Jennifer of Kitchener, and Sean Gale and his friend Michelle Henri of London. Dear brother of Bev Gale and his wife Barb of Tillsonburg, and Shirley Houghton (and her late husband Gord) of London. Also loved by his 2 grandsons Dustin and Curtis, and 2 granddaughters Riley and Frankie. Survived also by his nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Ernest James Gale and Florence Annie McEwan. George worked much of his life for the Government, first for Ontario Highways, and then for Ontario Hydro, in the capacity as an appraiser. Friends will be received by the family from 7-9 P.M. Friday at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London, where the complete funeral service will be held in the chapel on Saturday September 23rd at 1 P.M. with Reverend Janet Fredette of Richards Memorial United Church officiating. Cremation to follow. Friends will also be received Saturday 1 hour prior to the service. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Liver Foundation, 1206-383 Richmond Street, London N6A 3C3. On line condolences accepted at www.amgeorgefh.on.ca

Dear Eleanor, Angus & Sean,
We were very saddened to hear of George’s death. It seemed to happen very quickly. Hope that you are all taking care of each other while doing all the things that need to be done.
We are thinking of you all. See you on Saturday.
I am very sorry to hear of George’s passing and extend my condolences and sympathies to his family and friends.
I worked with George in Ontario Hydro’s London Project Office and always appreciated his helpfulness and quiet, dry humour.

I was saddened to hear of George’s passing and my condolences go out to the family. I have many fond memories both business and personal of working with George at Ontario Hydro. Crissy is right about him tormenting Sandy Grigg and Larry Laughlen because I was involved in a few. Just a tremendous loss of a great co-worker & friend.
