May 12, 1948 - April 13, 2016

George was born in Vaasa, Finland and moved to Canada with his family in 1956. He grew up in Sudbury and Toronto but lived in Kitchener for his entire adult life.  George was predeceased by his parents Olavi and Anna-Liisa Arvola. He is survived by his wife Gitta, daughter Susie (Ron), their children Denim and Jada, sister Satu (George) of Oshawa, twin sister Iiris (Ken) of Nanaimo, and nieces Hilkka and Lisa.

George was a lifelong musician and music teacher but primarily a guitarist. He was passionate about music and felt lucky in being able to make it his life's work. George tried to inspire his students with this passion, always hoping that music would bring them joy throughout their lives. At the end of his life he donated his eyes so that two other people could see their world through his eyes.


There will be no service at George's request. Details for a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

With saddened hearts, we are announcing the passing of our wonderful Mother, Grandmother and Great grandmother.  Loretta Catherine Willcocks on Sunday April 3, 2016, in her 93rd year, passed away peacefully at Lanark Heights Nursing Home, Kitchener.

She is survived by her daughter, Debbie Cartier (Larry), her son, John Willcocks (Ilona), and her grandchildren, Jason, Shannon and Ryan Cartier, Lee and Nicole Willcocks, along with 8 beautiful great grandchildren.

Loretta worked at the University of Waterloo until her retirement in 1990 at the age of 67. She was a sincere, good-hearted, vibrant lady who enjoyed bowling, playing cards and socializing with friends; but her greatest joy was family. She will be remembered with love.


A Celebration of Loretta’s life will be held at Parkview Cemetery – Chapel (335 University Ave., E. Waterloo) on Saturday April 30, 2016 at 11:30 a.m. with lunch and refreshments to follow.
