June 28, 1935 – December 19, 2025

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of George Robert Wigmore on December 19, 2025 at the age of 90 years in the Thunder Bay Regional Hospital, with his family by his side.

In 1961 he married the love of his life Margaret and shared many happy years together before mom passed away in 2005.  In his early years he worked at The Prince Arthur Hotel, in 1969 he moved to the Lakehead School Board where he worked as a custodian for over 25 years before retiring.  He loved his job and took pride in his work.

As a family we camped all summer long and spent many fun-filled years at Falcon Lake Campground with longtime family friends. 40 years ago, mom and dad settled in at Pass Lake Campground where they met new friends and shared many laughs around the campfire.

George will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Brenda Nahkala (Kevin), grandson’s Mitchell and Cameron (Erin), daughter in law Ellen, grandson’s Blake (Courtney) and Devin (Montana), great grandsons Miles and Maddox, brother-in-law and sister-in-law David and Rosalie as well as numerous nieces and nephews

George is predeceased by his wife Margaret, son Kevin, parents George, Ada and his sister Violet.
