It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Alexander Souter, at the age of 79 years. He passed away on April 18, 2013 with his loving wife and best friend, Claudette, by his side.

George was born outside of Naicam, Saskatchewan and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, as a radar technician, straight out of high school.

He worked in electronic repairs, eventually owning his own business Adam's Electric Repairs until he retired in 1995. George was known as a man who could fix anything.
