Passed peacefully away at St Clare’s hospital on February 2nd, George Henry Dawe of Blaketown, at the young age of 64. 

Predeceased by his parents, Bill and Trixie Dawe. Leaving to mourn, his wife of 43 years, Gloria, children Shelley (Eric), Sherry, and Jeffrey (Holly), and 4 grandchildren – Liam, Lyndon, Giles and Joley. As well as siblings; Lorraine Upwards (Eric), Frances Thorne (Elwood), Bill Dawe (Jean), Marie Dawe (Jack), Tilly Reid (Ed), Donald Dawe (Gerri) and Ronald Dawe (Marsha). And many nieces and nephews, other family members and friends.

George was known very well in his community, was a proud supporter and volunteered countless hours for the Royal Canadian Legion and Seaside Fire Department. He loved supporting his community and was there to help in any way he could. Most times without needing to be asked.

He loved cars, and could remember dates based on the vehicle he had at the time. His cars and trucks were a huge passion, and he had too many to count over the years. He loved showing them, sharing pictures, and talking about them to anyone who would listen.

He was an entrepreneur from a very young age, first delivering milk with his father on the road, and then vacuums door to door for many years. He opened the furniture store in 1980 and has provided exceptional, next level customer service every day of his life. He loved his customers. 

Mostly important to George was his family and friends. He loved weekends at the cabin sharing food and drinks, surrounded by our close family and friends. His grandchildren were his ultimate pride and joy. He loved them beyond measure and will forever be the best “Poppy Dawe” ever. 

He will be missed immensely by everyone. 

Visitation at Holloways Funeral Home in Whitbourne on Sunday, 10am – 2pm. 

Private funeral, by invitation only, at the Salvation Army in Dildo, Sunday at 3pm.
