George Tough
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of George Allan Tough, beloved husband of Lucille (née Chanel) and dearly loved father of Chris and Craig (Susan) Tough
George was predeceased by his parents James and Rosalyn Tough, his brother Bill, his parents-in-law Joseph and Marie Chanel and his brother-in-law Roger Chanel.
George was born in Winnipeg on February 24, 1929, he graduated as an Electrical Engineer from the University of Manitoba in 1951. After graduating he began working for Manitoba Telephone System, and retired in 1987. He enjoyed participating in curling and bowling leagues and collecting Canadian stamps, as well as spending quality time at the lake with his family.
George had a great love of music. He played the piano, loved to dance. During his illness his love of music never diminished. George had a quick wit and a dry sense of humour. He loved to make people laugh and to tease family and friends. Even to the end he would make staff at Golden Links laugh.
