ALBERT (ABS) JOSEPH GEORGE

The family of Albert (Abs) Joseph George regretfully informs of his unexpected death.
He left us exactly as he would have wanted–at the beloved family cabin, after a long day of work on his rock wall; no long good-byes.
Abs will be fondly remembered for his larger-than-life personality that has touched so many both personally and professionally.
He had a special rapport with kids, and as a result they were drawn to him. Especially noteworthy was his commitment and dedication to the youth of his community. Not only was it admirable, but it served to fulfill his passion for sport and fitness.
He was a man who took a great deal of pride in this career–his work ethic was impeccable, and he was well-respected.
Without a doubt, he would tell you that his greatest accomplishment was his children and grandchildren; he took great deal of pride in all his family.
Abs was predeceased by his mother, Margaret (Muggins), and father, Chester George.
He leaves behind his loving wife, Angelika Roehrig; sisters, Leona Wilson and Bea (Jim) Brown; children, Tara, Brandy (Dave), Travis (Carley), and Lisa (Brody); grandchildren, Carter, Colton, Faith, Rori, and Bree; as well as many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Albert’s life will be held Friday, June 26, 2015 at 11 a.m. at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Atikokan, Ont., with Fr. Elvis Odoegbulem officiating.
The honourary pallbearers will be Carter George, Herb Roehrig, Andy Roehrig, Brad Brown, Brian Brown, and Tim Fairbairn.
In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations may be made to the Atikokan Minor Hockey Association c/o Green Funeral Home, P.O. Box 427, Fort Frances, Ont., P9A 3M8.
