Condolence From: Wayne Skinner
Condolence: I have happy memories of gatherings and celebrations at the Rintoul home in Scarborough and at Brian and Linda's in Ajax. It was always a pleasure to see George. He was always sanguine, big-hearted and warm-spirited. It gave me a glimpse of the deep connections among these amazing Scottish immigrant families, the Wolfes and the Rintouls, and the abiding love for family and friends and sprit of extended community that joined them for so long and still does. George was an inspiring exemplar of a life lived generously and caringly, which is something to be respected, cherished and continued by those of us fortunate enough to have been gifted by the touch of his presence. My condolences to Edna, Alan and Alison and all his kin who were so close to him all these years.

Condolence: Uncle George has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember ~ from my earliest memories of Christmases and visits with my grandparents and Auntie Mae at their home, to my choir concerts, family reunions, weddings and celebrations.

As many of his friends and family are aware, Uncle George loved golf, socializing and music. He loved to sing (something I have in common with him) and always encouraged me in that regard attending many performances. Uncle George would entertain us as well, often with Auntie Edna alongside.

For me, Uncle George also represents a link to my grandparents and our family's Scottish heritage. Uncle George and Auntie Edna came to Canada with my grandparents in the 1950's. Many of us literally would not be here today had they not had the bravery to make that voyage to start a new life. I am extremely grateful for this and for the life our family crafted out for us here. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to ask Uncle George and Auntie Edna to recall stories and details about our family history. I will miss his voice and Scottish accent, just like my grandparents and Auntie Mae, when he spoke.

When Chris and I were married in November 2014, I was fortunate enough to have both Uncle George and Auntie Edna there. They both had a ball and to this day my friends still talk about Uncle George and his prowess on the dance floor!

Uncle George had a special quality about him that endeared others to him. He has taught us all, through his actions in his life, the importance of sharing your love with others and living life to the fullest. He never missed an opportunity to tell me how proud he was of me and how proud my grandparents would be of me.

Uncle George has shown us all how to be a good friend and partner, to value your family, and most of all, how to enjoy your life.

I saw Uncle George twice in recent weeks. Even in those last visits, he let his great love for his family be known. We loved him too and will miss him very much.

Condolence: Brian and I are heart-broken by the loss of my dear cousin George. He was a personable, fun-loving man who loved life and enjoyed it through his many social & family activities; golf, dancing, music, singing and most of all his devoted partnership with his wife Edna. The Wolfes were my Godparents and I had a special place in my heart for George. He had a special way with children and I am told that many a night he lulled me to sleep as a baby in Leaside, where we all lived after they emigrated to Canada with my parents. I have so many wonderful childhood and grown-up memories of our families - family dinners - Painted Post Drive - many many parties - picnics at the Rouge - summer vacations at Cleveland's House and much more. We very close and spent a lot of time together. George will be missed by many - he was a special guy and we loved him xoxo
