George Joseph McHugh “Huggy Bear”

Retired after 28 years of service with the LCBO


It is with profound sadness that the family announce the passing of their beloved George (Dad). He passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on February 28, 2020 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa at the age of 70. He was the loving father of Steven McHugh (Kimmy) and Jennifer Antrobus (Christopher). Adored Poppa of Ryan, Brandon, Chandler, Spencer and Carter. He was the loving brother of Margaret, Betty-Ann (Rick), Joseph (Judi), Katherine (Randy). Predeceased by brothers Bob, Bill, Jack, and Jim, by parents Leonard and Emaline McHugh (nee Clouthier). Cherished uncle of many nieces and nephews. He will be fondly remembered for his love of bid euchre, hockey, golf and fishing. George was a kind man who was a great provider and good friend to many. He enjoyed camping, taking road trips, spending time with loved ones and giving hugs. A celebration of his life will be held at THORNTON CEMETERY AND FUNERAL CENTRE, 1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa, (South of Taunton Road and off of Dryden Blvd, 905-579-6787) on March 14, 2020 from 1-4 pm. The family wish to extend their gratitude to the caring and compassionate nursing staff of Lakeridge Health Oshawa for their professionalism shown to George and his family - words cannot express. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted for the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Diabetes Association.

Jen, My thoughts and prayers are with you, Chris and the boys and your brother Steve and his family through this very difficult time. We are sorry we will not be able to be there next week to comfort you and the family but I will be thinking of you.
