On behalf of the staff and students of Elton Collegiate and Forrest Elementary school, we would like to pass on our condolences to the family of George Bell. George was kind enough to volunteer his time every year at our Remembrance Day service and we looked forward to always seeing him. He reminded us that a world free from conflict requires diligence, dedication, and self-sacrifice. His service in the Canadian Forces made a difference to people within our country and abroad. His kind disposition lent a human face to all the soldiers we wanted to pay tribute to.
He spoke frequently about his peace-keeping mission in the Suez region and how poor people seemed to be in that region. He also told about how lucky he was to spend time with his wife touring Europe in recent years.
We will truly miss him, and we feel fortunate to have had him in our lives.
Sincerely,
Dean Beaubier
Elton Collegiate
