George was a one in a trillion - a national treasure - there will never be another one like him.
He was so brilliant with our kids who just adored him. We only knew him for a relatively short period but we'll all miss him forever. An absolute honour to have known George and been able to count him as a friend. Our thoughts are with all of you.

Jocelyn and family we are deeply saddened to hear of George's passing. George was a great grandparent supporter and then 'jack of all trades' helping out with many jobs, building pest traps with the Year 7 & 8's and our Number One Mr Fix It! No job was too big or too small and he always had the right tool for the job. He always turned up with a smile on his face, a tale to tell and always had time for a cuppa with the staff. He will be missed by us all at Toko School.
