Sept. 11, 1934 – March 1, 2016

George was born in Ashcroft to parents George Muir and Bessie Louise Pratt of Barnhartvale. He moved to Pine St. and attended Lloyd George Elementary from 1941-1945 and delivered the Kamloops newspaper.

George met and married his wife, Marion in 1957 in Boston Bar, where he was working in the logging industry. They ran cattle on Robins Range in Barhartvale until he purchased his own lumber truck, often hauling lumber from Merritt to build structures at the original Tod Mountain Ski Hill, eventually building a home on Dairy Road in Westsyde. In 1976 he found his passion in farming and bought a large piece of the McLure Valley where the farming continued until 2012, retiring in Barriere. There he volunteered for the Barriere Fall Fair with Big Al.

George is survived by his oldest sister Sheila Pattershut and youngest sister Moyra (La Ron) both of Kamloops. He is predeceased by his brothers Angus and John, and his kids Lori and Curtis, who are all waiting for him on the other side. He is also survived by his children Heather (James) of Kamloops, Bonita (Dale) of Athabasca, Mark (Alexa) of Kamloops, grandchildren Leon, Elliott, Amy, Mitch, Jade, Hannah, and Levi,  great granddaughters Taylor and Ryan, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, 2016 in Westsyde at the Dunes Banquet Room, 652 Dunes Dr, Kamloops.

We would like to give thanks to the Shores, the Interior Health Community Nurses and especially 4 North who put up with us for the time we were there.
