WALCOTT, George Walcott  -

On Thursday June 20th, 2024, after 76 years of life, George passed away at his home.

George (Georgie) was born November 11, 1947, in Georgetown, Guyana. Georgie is the son of Olga Giddings and Arnim Walcott. Sisters: Waveney Limerick (deceased), Caroline Patricia Anderson(deceased), Shirley Caleb(deceased); and Pauline Walcott. Georgie is adored by his many nieces and nephews.

Georgie started his primary school years at Smith Church Congregational school and continued his High School education at Central High School, Georgetown. In his early years, Georgie sang on the Radio Demerara Ovaltine show.
While in High School, Georgie remained physically fit and buff by means of weightlifting.

Georgie emigrated to Canada in 1967, where he joined his sister Waveney. George completed a career at the Toronto Post Office as a Postal Clerk.

Georgie led a quiet and private life, which included reading the Bible daily. On the kitchen table, George kept a dictionary which he appeared to study every chance he got. He often said, "Ask me any word, and I will give you the definition". He was always right.

His handwriting was impeccable, and he kept miscellaneous writings around the house. People often commented about the uniqueness of his handwriting.

Georgie was observant of people and things around him, and he possessed a good sense of humor. His kindness and generosity were displayed in faithfully selecting and sending thoughtful greeting cards which sometimes included "a small piece". He often shared his knowledge of all things freely.

Georgie will be greatly missed by family and friends, and everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.
