<div itemprop="description"> <p> COPELAND, George Arthur </p> <p> Member of IBEW Local 353 for over 60 years </p> <p> Member of ABYC for over 30 years </p> <p> Active member of the Church of St. Bede for over 20 years </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> <p> George was a genuine family man who loved and was loved intensely. He passes away reluctantly in Toronto on May 1, 2012 but is now happily reunited with Donna, his adoring daughter. George leaves behind Dorothy, his loving wife of 63 years. He will be deeply missed by his large family: Pala (Al), Val (Mike), Steve (Pat), Patti (Dave), Jeff (Ann) as well as his many friends. His legacy will live on in his cherished 18 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Perfection was George&rsquo;s passion and he displayed this throughout his life in a wide range of activities from fishing, hunting, sailing, camping, horseback riding, tennis, golfing, swimming, curling to travelling, hosting parties and dancing. He took great pride in his many building projects and creative hobbies such as photography and model railroading. &ldquo;Papa Geo&rdquo; was admired and will be remembered by all who knew him throughout his 84 years. George was a true gentleman-classy, intelligent and affectionate. A special thank you to the staff at Main Street Terrace for their outstanding care of George over the past two years.
