It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the sudden death of our beloved uncle, Peter George, who passed away on Monday, February 15th at the age of 88 years.
Peter was born in Lethbridge, AB on July 11, 1932 to parents John and Mary (nee Skvarla) George. On December 15, 1944, Peter moved with his parents and siblings from Lethbridge to Fernie; the place Peter would call home for the rest of his life.
Peter dedicated 7 years of his life studying to become a Catholic Priest before making the decision to change the direction of his future. He worked various jobs including underground at the Coal Creek Mine, Trice Woods, the CNI Mill, and bartending at the King Edward Hotel and the Fernie Legion before beginning his 40 year stint with IGS where he remained until his retirement.
