Default George Harper Obituary

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/cal...0156&fhid=6132

Many from Calgary should know Goerge. He was once the manager of the original Frenchy's Sporting Goods and later an employee of Barrotto and Wholesale Sports working in the fishing department. Always a gentleman.
I will miss him.

That's truly sad, and he'll be missed. I saw him at Christmas and he was just recovering from a recent stroke. He looked fine and was in good spirits, and counting down the days until he could drive again.
I don't mean to pry, but does anybody know what happen?


My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

One of the friendliest and consistently happy people I had the pleasure of working with at Wholesale.

Always friendly, helpful and knowledgable. I didn't know he spoke mandarin, that is very cool.

Rest in peace sir, you will be missed.
