WALLACE, George T. After a courageous battle with cancer, George passed away on Sunday, October 6th, 2013, with his wife by his side, at the age of 73, never losing hope.

Wallace (2012) and his wife Nancy. Brother-in-law to Henrietta Steers and Claude (Dorothy) Gagné. George will be remembered by many nieces, nephews, and friends.
