After retiring from banking, he worked in the oil industry at management level and then as a director for many years at National Oilwell Varco. He became a valued mentor and leader to many. He proved to be selfless, giving guidance and support to anyone who wanted to learn and grow in their chosen profession. George’s perseverance, mentorship and hard, diligent work are some of his most admirable characteristics, skills that he readily shared with everyone. He loved his wife, Lily, to the extreme. They were married for 57 years. He cared for and loved his four children, George Richard, Roger Denis, Debora Lily and Gustavo Lee. He doted on all his grand children. He was the brother of Patsy (dec’d), Doreen (dec’d), Winston, Janet and Anthony (dec’d). He loved playing golf which turned into a passion. He loved good food. We will greatly miss his presence and constant affection for everyone. His kind and thoughtful gestures will be remembered and valued in our hearts forever.
