George worked at St Ann's Home in Methuen as a counselor when I was there as an emotionally disturbed child. He was a fantastic counselor who really cared about the kids he was working with. I was absolutely heartbroken when he moved on to other jobs. It's been nearly fifty years since I last saw George, and I still remember him with love.
I am sorry for the family's loss.
Ruthie and Dottie, So sorry for your loss. It was so much fun growing up with all of you, he will be truly missed.
Dear Nancy and family, I am just hearing of George passing recently. My sincere
condolences. Heartbreaking, as he loved life to the fullest which only grew once you
came into his life.
I can still remember convincing you to go on that "blind date" with him, which turned
out to be life changing for you both.
You and your extended family are in my thoughts and prayers.
You sent me a card after my Mom passed in 1994. Those words have been repeated since. I just love the thought...."maybe the are not just stars in the sky but openings
for our loved ones to watch over us."
Love, Diane Peterson
My wonderful big brother. Friend, protector, ally, partner in childhood adventures, shoulder to lean on, and so much more. Love you so much, George.

George was a generous and giving soul. From the first time we met to join his dojo you could tell how sincere and balanced he was. He became my Sensei but he had many lessons to teach outside the dojo that we all benefited from. I don't think he realized that as it was just the way he was. We grew that friendship over the years and grew together as friends, husband and fathers - family was everything to George.
George's humor and boisterous laugh was so refreshing and often a subject of his own jokes. There was nothing George would not do for friends and family and he was a great role model for so many. I will miss my friend as his humor and perspective brought so much into view and intellectually simplified so much - he was such an avid reader and historian.
I will miss you my beloved friend though I will continue to hear your laughter every day and cherish our memories. Until we connect again at Wells for that summer day...
Nancy I am very sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs and prayers.
I admire and respect George Demers and am proud that he let me into his circle of friends. I consider George to be one of the finest examples of Christian masculinity, a man who devoted his life to making the lives of others better. And he devoted himself to saving troubled and endangered children, truly a noble way to use the courage and talents that God gave him.
George saw a lot of the less noble side of life, but he never let it make him cynical. It seems instead that George did everything he could to make the lives of his family and friends better and more happy. George loved people, and we loved him back. When you were with George, you never felt he wanted to be anywhere except there with you.
George was a quintessential family man. He loved his wife Nancy and always showed it. He loved and was proud of both his sons. He was the husband and father that every family should have.
I spent many hours walking on beautiful Wells Beach with George, usually talking, and sometimes arguing, but enjoying every minute of his company. I will continue to walk that beach, with George in my heart.
George was my friend. I love him and I will miss him forever.
Nancy, Derek, and George,
So Sorry for your loss. George was a good friend. We spent many a Friday afternoons sharing lunch and arguing about sports. Two of his most favorite things to do. He will be missed
