HALE,
George
Morris (1922-2007)
On November 17, 2007, George Morris
HALE accepted the starter's
call for his divine tee time at 10: 30 a.m. George spent his final
days at Kingston General Hospital, within the confines of his
beloved alma mater, Queen's University, singing with his loved
ones. George's passion for his Welsh heritage was unrivalled
even though he came to Canada four years after his birth in Cwmtillery
on December 23, 1922. He held St. David's Day celebrations the
world over, awarded the Welsh Cup in family competitions (the
highest honour attainable) and had a zeal for music - so much
so that George's religious affiliation was determined by the
quality of the choir. Queen's University offered George more
than a diploma (Science '45, Masters '47): he met his true love
Mary Lillian
CONNER
(Arts '45 - one of the famed Goodwin House
Girls), forged essential life-long Friendships and instilled
in his children the value of a university experience. While 'The
Graduate' may have suggested it, George lived the future - an
official Canadian Plastics Pioneer. His career course began in
Shawinigan Falls and continued to North York, Brampton, Pointe
Claire and culminated with the prestigious position as President,
China Gulf Plastics Corp. in Taipei, Taiwan. His success afforded
George and Mary, often accompanied by good Friends, the opportunity
to travel the globe and experience its pleasures. Retiring from
the plastics industry in 1976, George resettled the family in
St. Catharines where he opened the Marco Polo Shop - keeping
Mary and him occupied between golf and bridge games. His final
years were spent in Kingston, enjoying the love and companionship
of Ruth CHISAMORE, together wreaking havoc at the Kingsdale bridge
tables. Predeceased by his wife Mary, granddaughter Michelle,
sister Lilian and brother Cyril. Survived by his sister Kitty
(Kathleen) and recognized progeny Richard (Skip), Susan (Doug
ROUTLEDGE,)
Jeff
(Ted
COOPER,) David (France) and Alison (spinster
librarian); grandchildren Michael (Julie), Taben, Devin, Sarah
(Dave LANOVAZ), Julie (Nathan
LAX), Jordan, John Lee
COOPER,
Mathieu BOURBONNAIS; great-grand_son Liam
LANOVAZ and his dearest
companion Ruth
CHISAMORE. A celebration of George's life will
be held at the Country Squire Inn in Gananoque on November 24,
at 7: 00 p.m. For accommodations in the Hale block, call 613-382-3511.
Although we are requesting casual attire, George would have preferred
'clothing optional.' Please share your memories with us at www.jamesreidfuneralhome.com.
In recognition of his life-long passion for music, in lieu of
flowers, please offer a donation to a musical organization of
your choice.
