In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
MARTIN, George Edward - died on March 6, 2021. Predeceased by brothers Jack and Harold, his sister Isobel Swan and his son Paul. He is survived by his wife Shirley and his son David. Born in Melancthon, Ontario on August 23, 1924, George's family moved to Palmerston, Ontario where he met and married Shirley Marie Major, to whom we would remain married for 74 years. While living in Palmerston, a career with The Canadian Bank of Commerce was interrupted by George's enlistment in the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II. Upon his discharge from the Royal Canadian Navy, George resumed his career with The Canadian Bank of Commerce, a career which was to extend for more than 40 years until his retirement from CIBC in 1982. George and Shirley's journey together would see them move from Palmerston to Ajax, then to Lindsay and finally to Toronto. They were forever thankful for all of the valued friendships and business acquaintances they would make along the way. Cremation has occurred and there will be no funeral service at this time.
