Wendy, Daphne, Lynn, and Marridy, our sincere condolences to you and your families. As you know, we enjoyed our 21 years living on the farm in Stewiacke. Your father loved to drop down to see the horses, or to chat and we were happy to have him visit. My fondest memory of him was one Sunday afternoon when I was working to drag the riding ring, hoping to level out the sand for an evening ride. The old percheron, Duke, was hitched to the chain-harrow. It was obvious that the wavy trail left from my efforts did not satisfy George. He took the horse and under his skilled hands he and Duke levelled the entire ring with paths straight as an arrow. It was impressive, especially since it had probably been a few years since he had worked with horses We will remember him fondly.
Unfortunately given current restrictions limiting travel from Halifax, we will not attend the funeral service. However, I will join you virtually and in spirit.
Cathy Smith Horsman and family
