George Wesley McIntyre February 9th 1922 - February 11th 2015 It is with feelings of profound loss and sadness to announce the passing of George Wesley McIntyre. George passed away peacefully at Jubilee Hospital in Vernon BC a few days after enjoying the celebration of his 93rd birthday with his family. George was born in Mather Manitoba and as a young man served in World War II with the Canadian Air Force and RCAF obtaining the rank of Flight Lieutenant and was a bomber flight engineer. Toward the end of the war his plane was shot down over Germany. It was believed that he had not survived but it was later announced by Radio that he was alive and well in a German POW camp where he spent 14 months of the war until allied forces took control. After the war George brought his lovely War Bride Joan to Canada where they had three children while living in Winnipeg. George worked for Veterans Affairs for most of his career until he retired in 1984. George will be remembered with much love by his daughter Evelyn Taylor (Gary Taylor), son Ian McIntyre and daughter Linda Barclay, his grandchildren Christopher Taylor (Karen Taylor) and Darren Taylor (Lynn Taylor), his great grandchildren, Melissa, Ryan, Jessey and Tristan Taylor and his niece Pam McIntyre along with many friends and neighbors both in Port Coquitlam and Vernon. George is predeceased by his wife Joan Pauline (Pitt) McIntyre; father and mother Ross and Margaret McIntyre and his brother Ralph McIntyre. George was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and uncle. George we thank you not only for being a wonderful man but for the sacrifices you made for our country. George will be missed but never forgotten and will be in our hearts for all time. A memorial will be held at a later date. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Canadian Diabetes Association in memorial would be appreciated. WE LOVE YOU DAD!
