George ‘Geordie’ Raymond White

George ‘Geordie’ Raymond White, died April 28, 2019, in St. Martha’s Hospital, Antigonish. Born in 1930 in Country Harbour Lake, Guysborough County, he was a son of the late George and Lillian (Smith) White. He lived his whole life in Country Harbour Lake with the exception of a brief time in Toronto, where he met and married Bernie. He lived a long, healthy life, his only lengthy hospital stay being in 1969 when he donated a kidney to his brother, Bill.

He was resourceful and independent, a self-taught mechanic, plumber, carpenter, electrician and engineer. He enjoyed hockey and country music. Always rooting for the NHL underdog, he also enjoyed watching his grandchildren and great grandchildren play sports.
