BUCKLE, George: On Sunday, December 7, 2014, our wonderful husband, father, and grandfather passed away suddenly at the age of 85 years. George was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 17, 1929. He attended the University of Edinburgh and received his degree in Education. He then emigrated to Alberta in 1958 where he met his first wife, Liz, while both were teaching at the Iron River School. They moved to Edson in 1965, and he spent the remainder of his career there as a teacher and school principal. They raised 3 children in Edson, and retired to Edmonton in 1995 where Liz passed away in 2002. He then had the great good fortune to move to Kelowna with his second wife, Brenda, in 2004 and spent 10 very happy years volunteering at the Museum and HAM radio club, and enjoying the Okanagan. He is survived by his loving wife Brenda; two daughters: Patricia Buckle (Bronko), Sheila Buckle (Ken); son Trevor Buckle (Chris); his step-children: Kim Nutley (Dale), Mark Nutley (Marie-France), Shawn Nutley (Jenn), Shiela Kim (Hyun-Chul); three grandchildren: Jordan, Tyler and Olivia; four step-grandchildren: Teryn, Chanelle, Sidney and Jules as well as extended family. There will be no service as per George's request. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kelowna Museum, 1304 Ellis Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 1Z8, the Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 - 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9 or the charity of your choice.
