DUNSIRE, George Wilson

May 30, 1940-January 17, 2023 – The man, the myth, the legend.

George died peacefully and in the company of loved ones in the afternoon of January 17. If asked, he would have said “I’ve had a good life, I’ve left no stone unturned”. George brought his young wife and three daughters from Scotland in 1966. He promised “just a couple of years Annette!’, and with that, 57 years later, he and his family made a beautiful life. Leaving behind to miss his antics, his wife of 62 years, Annette.

Also the three daughters from the motherland, L1, Diane Balcain (Mike), L2, Shona Dunsire (Michael Lawrence), L3 Georgia Loos (Brian) and the Canadian edition L4, Deborah Dunsire (Karin). George will also be missed beyond words and tears by his grandchildren. They were his everlasting light, he was their G Dad; Scott,
Devon (Joey), Sara (Vince), Craig (Camila) and Heather (Vic). Recently, our dad was blessed with the first great-granddaughter, Fiona Diane. She had already stolen his heart and she is already the bairn. At home in Scotland Wilson will be sadly missed by his only sibling Charles.

Chick’s girls Sandra (Andy) and Karen (Grant) and their families will also miss visits over here and over there with Uncle Wilson. George enjoyed his fishing, golfing, many traveling adventures and years of Robbie Burns dinners. Dad liked nothing more than gathering his clan around the table. Cremation has taken place. A final private family farewell will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Good Shepherd would be sincerely appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, GRIMSBY, 905-945-2755.
