Georges parents immigrated to Canada in 1907 from the village of Saraiu, Romania and settled in the Limerick district. Their first son born was George Jr. on February 8, 1917. George Jr. served in the army stationed in the Vancouver area. Once his service ended he went home to the farm and helped Dad farm and take care of town business until Dad retired. George Jr. continued to farm with his brother Danny, summers going back and forth from Regina until he finally retired.
