George worked on Parliament Hill amidst the fast pace and enthusiasm of running a national campaign, and in 1986 became a fellow in the ICIA.

Dad’s contribution to his community continued in the role of President of the Chatham Chamber of Commerce, and as the President of the Wakefield Meadows Home owners Association in Rhode Island. George’s diplomatic leadership, his compassion for others, and his intelligent foresight are just a few of the fine characteristics that enabled him to establish the Shepherd Memorial Foundation, funding students education. George loved skating on the Ottawa canal, down hill skiing vacations, travels to Western Canada, and June picnic’s with his grandchildren seaside on Harding beach. George is predeceased by his first wife Gwendolyn Margaret Hughes and is survived by his two daughters, Pamela and Andrea with their spouses, six grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.
