Age 88. Today we are very sad at the loss of our father, but hold dear to our hearts the wonderful memories, stories and laughter we shared. He passed peacefully in Dartmouth General Hospital on February 28, 2018. George was born May 14, 1929 in Oakshella, Sask., to John and Josephine (Reiger) Saleski. He served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 20 years, on board the HMCS Magnificent and the Bonaventure. George retired from a career as a realtor after 26 years, and also served on the Halifax/Dartmouth Real Estate Board as a director. George was predeceased by his wife of 57 years, Doris (Baker) Saleski, and 11 of his siblings. He is survived by his son, Gary (Lisa) of Waverley; daughter, Rhonda (Brian) Lorimer of Dartmouth; and grandchildren that were very special to him, Stephanie, Brandon, Georgia and Graydon. George has one remaining sibling, Eva Davidson (Ross). In recent years, he enjoyed spending time with his special friend Faye Wagner. The two shared many good times and laughter over the past eight years. Special thanks to the nursing staff at Dartmouth General Hospital, he was well taken care of in his final days.
