WALSH, GEORGE RAYMOND
Sept 24, 1945 - Jan. 17, 2012
It is with great sadness that the family of the late George
Raymond Walsh, age 66, of Fleur de Lys, NL, announce his peaceful
passing due to an aneurism at St. Clare's Hospital, St. John's, NL
on Tuesday, January 17, 2012. George was a tremendous
human being and those who knew him were of privileged company! He will
be sadly missed and greatly remembered. George Raymond Walsh was born
in Fleur de Lys, NL on September 24, 1945 to John and Bertha Walsh
during a time when rural Newfoundland was rural and communities survived
by interdependence among the community and family. Instilled with a
hard work ethic, strong will and good morals, George set out into the
world where he would have significant impact on everyone who came into
his company. He lived a very diverse and cultured life; was well traveled
physically, emotionally and spiritually. He was truly a kindred spirit.
George had a very diversified and colorful career and he began his
working days as a Machinist. He completed his apprenticeship with Advocate
Mines in Baie Verte and once completed with papers he had a ticked
to see the country. Young and eager he travelled extensively in all
the industrial corners of Ontario, Labrador City, Long Harbour, Stephenville,
and Fort McMurray. George worked hard and in the early days played
hard, while rambling from one adventure to another he participated
as a union representative and caused plentiful wild cat strikes, more
for the entertainment then for the grievances won.
George loved people,
they were his priority, and he sincerely wanted to make a difference
for those important to him. George was a great strategist and planner.
After vacationing around the world between work as a Machinist, George
did as he always did regarding any decision in life; he followed his
heart and returned to lay down roots in Fleur de Lys. He loved Fleur
de Lys! His contribution and dedication never unwavering George set
out to build a future for the community. A natural leader he played
a role in every aspect of the community and region at large. He was
a very composed and energetic man with a great vision. Like a real
entrepreneur he was engaged in many business ventures, but in the beginning
it was the Stogger Tite Lounge and Walsh's Store that kept his interest.
In the meantime, he was determined Fleur de Lys needed jobs, so with
the perseverance he showed in all his efforts, a committee was struck
and he lead the community to lobby the government for a Crab license.
Impossible was not in George's vocabulary! Time after time, year after
year, George faced the impossible task and most times was successful.
With a crab license and processor in hand, George constructed the Crab
plant which he managed for 18 years for the Quinlan Bros.
George met
his beloved wife Millie in 1983. Both very passionate about their community
they jointly made representation to the Royal Commission on Sealing
and the importance it had to Newfoundland and our rural way of life.
George and Millie loved each other to no end and faced all of their
future ups and downs together; united. Sealing would be an important
part of George for the rest of his life. He had a great vision of the
potential the industry could have for Newfoundland and was real pioneer
for the development of the industry. In 1996 he founded Caboto Seafoods
and met a great partner and true friend where they developed a special
refining technology for seal oil. In 2005 George began Sea Water Products
and constructed a new plant in Fleur de Lys where he maintained his
determination to develop the full utilization of seals. George was
a strong minded individual, often thinking outside the box, and loved
to prove his point, often going against the grain of the way most people
were thinking. He loved a good argument but never held grudges. George
always lived for today and tomorrow was another day.
George and Millie
committed as much time to their volunteer life as they did in their
professional lives. Volunteering was their investment into the future
of the community and most things they did together. Since his return
to Fleur de Lys in the early 80's George has never been vacant of a
lead responsibility of some organization or another. Over the years
he has served on the Baie Verte Economic Development Assoc., Dorset
Trail Tourism Assoc., Dorset Museum Committee, Petit Nord Development
Committee, Emerald Zone, Town Council, and the Provincial Progressive
Conservative District Executive. George loved politics! Partly because
of the idealisms he carried and partly for the entertainment. Elections
were like the playoffs to a major sports buff. George loved to play
the campaign trail, watch the candidates and evaluate the positions
at the local coffee shop. He enjoyed the camaraderie and friendships
that he experienced with everyone he met no matter what the color,
although he really preferred blue; most of the time.
Highly energized
and engaged George always put his family first and everything else
was second priority. He loved his children and wife dearly and at all
times expressed his love for them. He was a proud father always recollected
the time he spent with Sandy and Sam fondly. Personally he was faced
with challenges only his family can know, but he faced them the way
he faced the rest of his life - head on! George was a well composed
individual and always expressed the same demeanor. He had a big heart
and loved to enjoy good company and appreciated good friends. He saw
the importance in enjoying life and dearly loved music, food and a
good party. Material possessions were never important to him and he
found riches in simple things; trouting and berry picking with Millie,
mother-in-law Phene and her friends. Along with Millie he entertained
company from every corner of the world. In addition he participated
in community talent shows; things that gave him and Millie joy.
George
Walsh was a very courageous man and he was happy for each day that
he spent with us in the world as we know it. We were lucky to have
him. George had a humble confidence and never looked for acknowledgement
for any of the tremendous contributions he has made in his lifetime.
He was never known to wear a watch and times was of no essence to him,
it didn't matter. He often said we are only one breath away, and really
if you live your life by that, no one should have any regrets. George
was a deeply spiritual person and faced death as he faced life - head
on. The last few days of George's life were challenging to those close
to him, but he gave us strength in the steadiness and confidence he
expressed to us all. He did what he has done regarding anything in
his life; he followed his heart and returned home where Sam is waiting
to greet him! George Walsh was a great man, a great friend, a great
father but most of all a great human being! Funeral arrangements were
entrusted to Wimbleton's Funeral Home, Baie Verte.
