After a life well lived, George Whetham passed away on October 30, 2022 in Barrie, Ontario in his 92nd year.
George was born and raised in Galt (now Cambridge), the son of Authur and Winnifred Whetham. He married Lois (McNeill) in 1955 and together they raised 3 children, Nancy (deceased), David and Douglas (Jane). He was the proud grandfather of Dianne, Stephen (Ashlee), Christian, Kate, Mary and John, and the extra proud great-grandfather of Lauren, Megan, Ethan and Scarlett.
George was a proud member of ‘53 OAC (and the order of OAC), now part of the University of Guelph. After graduation he worked for Canada Packers before starting a teaching career of 22 years, mainly in the Math department of Barrie North Collegiate.
An active Boy Scouter, George led 6th Barrie Cubs for 10 years. Before a severe stroke in 2009 George and Lois were privileged to be able to travel and together they visited many areas of the world.
It was George’s wish that there be no visitation or service. Cremation has taken place.
If you wish, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated by the family.
