BEAZLEY, George A. February 8, 1930 - July 20, 2013 Do not mourn for me, for I have not left you. Look into the eyes of my children and grandchildren and you will find me there." George Archibald Beazley, February 8th, 1930 - July 20, 2013. Predeceased by his parents Jack and Elizabeth and his first wife of 52 years, Marion, who passed away in 2007. He is survived by his three children Bryan (Vicki), Portland, Oregon; Scott (Della), Minneapolis; Brenda (Dave), Salt Spring Island; his 5 grandchildren: Brianne, Bradley, Kevin, Jackson, and Hannah. Also survived by his loving wife, Lorraine Robinson Beazley. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, the only child to John Henry Beazley and Elizabeth Coventry Donald, George was educated in Edmonton. He married Marion in 1955 and they had three children who were the light of George's life. He loved being a father and his compassion, strength, huge heart, and sense of humor made him a wonderful dad. There were many family camping trips over the years that took the Beazleys across Canada as well as to many parts of the states including Florida, Cape Cod, and a family favourite Oregon, where son Bryan and family now live. The Beazley clan all grew up with a love of nature and the outdoors, and especially the ocean. A lifelong musician, George played with dance bands, entertained at care homes, and continued playing well into his 80's. He was a member of the Okanagan Swing Band, The Little Big Band, as well as the Cactus Jazz Band, who performed at the Penticton Jazz Festival for many years. No piano was ever lonely if George was in the vicinity. He would sit down and play and people would gather. His love for music and natural talent came through in everything he played; he was an amazing pianist. George began working for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1960 as Personnel Officer, and subsequently became the Director of Human Resources of CBC, English Division, until his early retirement in 1990. As the children married and dispersed, Marion and George moved to Red Deer, Marion's home town, and finally landed in the Okanagan Valley. They spent many years wintering in Florida and Arizona until Marion's illness prevented their travel. In 2008 George married Lorraine Robinson and they joined their extended families. The duo travelled frequently to numerous destinations and enjoyed the adventure of exploring new things together. This family extension includes Lorraine's sons: Rod (Donna), Kelowna; Randy (Joni), Trail; Wayne (Shenny), Kamloops; as well as 13 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. George was a wonderful father and a generous man with a wonderful spirit and kind heart. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
