SAKSONS, Juris (George) - March 10, 1948 - November 9, 2021
It is with great sadness that we advise of the peaceful passing of Juris Saksons.
This was unexpected and he was in good spirits with his caregivers until he passed in the early morning hours of Tuesday. George is survived by brother Imants (Elaine, Lisa and Brad) and widowed sister-in-law Dale (Chris and Shelley).
He will be interred with parents Valdis and Anna Saksons at York Cemetery.
Juris faced the "challenges" he had with faith and humour. He was a favourite client of March of Dimes caregivers for 30 years. He never complained and greeted all who came to help him with a big smile.
He was proud of the years he spent as a radio dispatcher in Peel and only gave it up when he became disabled.
His last many years were spent in his apartment enjoying TV shows and music.
Game shows, Mighty Trains and old movies brought him a great deal of pleasure.
George missed the social interaction with other residents once COVID arrived.
He had a number of friendships during his 18 years in the apartment.
There will be no service.
