George spent his career in the car industry. His tenure in the business included being the GM at Dean Myers Chevrolet Oldsmobile prior to purchasing his own GM dealership in Ajax, George Davey Chevrolet Oldsmobile.
His remarkable passion is what led to his success in the industry and he passed his knowledge down two generations to date. When his son took over the family business, George was never able to fully settle into retirement and continued to work leasing and selling used vehicles through Davey Enterprises.
George enjoyed following the Toronto Maple Leafs, and had a passion for all sports. When his son Jeff was young, he enjoyed coaching him in the MTHL for the Royal York Rangers where he made many lasting friendships.
George was also passionate about racing and breeding standardbred horses. George also had a love for dogs.
In the early 80’s he enjoyed the farm in Kendal. He enjoyed travelling with his wife Mary in their motor home and spent many years in Florida where they dodged the cold winters.
George continued to teach his family valuable lessons until the day he passed.
We put a few words together to best describe.
“George was passionate about everything he did. He always did things the right way. He never had an opinion, but would rather listen. George never judged. He had a knack for making people feel welcome and cared about.”
