PITKEATHLY, George William

With broken hearts, we say goodbye to our Dad (Daddy), Papa, Great Grandfather, Uncle, and Friend. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family in his home on Friday April 20th, 2018 in his 84th year. He is lovingly reunited with the love of his life, his wife, Jeanette (1998). George was a loving father of seven; Steven Pitkeathly, Susan (Ken) Musson, Randy (Stacey) Pitkeathly, Sherryl (Patrick) Chrysler, Tammy (Brian) Whittaker, Amanda (Scott) Purser and Ruthie (Glenn) Gooch. George would love to wrestle and play with his 13 grandchildren and six great grandchildren. He was an avid sports fan (Go Leafs, Go) and history buff. His memory on how Hamilton has changed could always be told as a great story. His favourite hobby was trains and had built with his wife an amazing village with trains running through the mountain. A celebration of life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, the Battlefield Branch (12 King Street East, Stoney Creek, on Saturday May 26 at 7:00pm. To celebrate George's love of sports, please wear a jersey of your choice. In lieu of flowers, any donations can be made to St. Joseph's Villa Adult Day Program in Dundas. A special thank you to VON nurses Jessica and Alex for your amazing support. And all the personal care needs met by CBI Home Health. We couldn't have made Dad's wish to be surrounded by his kids in his home without your care and support.
