It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected passing of George Korack on March 1st, 2024.
George was born in Vancouver, BC on August 14th, 1947. He began a long and successful career with Pacific Great Eastern Railway/BC Rail in May of 1967 at age 19, and after holding several positions within the Engineering Department, he retired in 2005. In his retirement, George was active on the Buckhorn Regional District Water Board.
George was a talented baseball player and participated competitively, well into his retirement years. He also enjoyed many years of golfing and curling.
George was kind and considerate, quick to laugh, always teasing and there for you if you needed anything. He will be greatly missed.
George is survived by his long time companion and best friend Tana Rebagliati, his sisters, Rose (Bob) Robertson, Shirley VanWinckel, nephews Warren (Bernadette) VanWinckel, and Ross VanWinckel. He is pre-deceased by his father Stan Korack, mother Bessie Korack, and brother-in-law Carl VanWinckel. No service by request.
