George was a very good friend to my partner, Bob
Perkes. I fortunately got to know him in the last 5 years. George was a kind, sweet and funny man. He totally rocked his ' Elvis' look. The world was a better place with a George Hawkes cruising around. I will miss him.

My family and I have lived in our house for the last 5 1/2 years and George was our backyard neighbour. George and my friendship really grew after I had my son as George would always come out and talk with me at the fence and would bring my son freezies. Dean would run to the fence and wave at him and yell his name just to get his attention to c'mon over. George talked a lot about his granddaughter and children, who he described as being his world. We also talked a lot about cars lol I remember I mentioned we were having trouble with our old Camaro being stuck on high idle and George packed up his tools and came right over to start turning wrench.
Recently the conversations were more limited to email and phone but we continued to chat none the less. The unlikeliest of friendships but he had become a good friend of mine.
I will always think of you when we are hanging in the backyard and will forever miss our lengthy conversations of just about everything. You will truly be missed.
My sincerest condolences to his family. All our love.

I met and worked with George at Adelaide Central Office in Toronto. And then hung out a bunch when I ended up in Waterloo....he was a great guy and I cherish the times we had. Kind of lost touch when I moved away and was surprised saddened to hear of George's be passing. My condolences to George's family.
