Passed away quietly on April 26, 2010 at the age of 69. Survived by his daughter Dioni; son Bradley; grandson Shawn; sisters Florence, Lillian and Cynthia; brothers Wayne and Grant. He was the most loving, caring kindest father and had the biggest heart to all. His passion was his job as a Backhoe Operator and Samson his dog was his “King of Kings & Lord of Lords”. George spent most nights gardening, was an avid guitar player, loved his “prime rib, Ukranian sausage & eggs” and enjoyed fresh baked bread with his son before bed. All of his passions are finished with his favourite saying “unbelievable”. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the SPCA.
Visitation to be held on Sunday, May 2, 2010 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at McCall Bros. Funeral Home, 1400 Vancouver at Johnson Street. A Celebration of Life to be held on Friday, May 14, 2010 at 3:00pm at McCall Bros. Floral Chapel.

“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.” -Leo Buscaglia

Dear Brad, We were so sorry to hear that your father passed away. We know how much he was a part of your life and such a good father. I always remember his broad smile when we would meet him, and he always took the time to have a nice chat. May you always be strong for him and know that he is with your mother now, whom I always remember as a soft, kind woman. Time does go so fast, so keep the memories and move ahead. With fond memories, Alice and George Schellenberg
I met George in 1992 and having come from the same area as George was born and grew up we had many conversations. The amazing thing about George was it didn’t matter wheather it was millionaire or pauper to George they were people and he treated them all the same. In all our conversations I can never remember George saying an unkind word about anyone. Unbelievable!!! But then George you were truly unbelievable.

Dioni and Brad, so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing, I had seen him around working on Shelbourne Street and he would always say hi when we had a chance to talk.
Will be thinking of you and the family during this difficult time.

To all the Homeniuk relatives we share the loss of Uncle George. We enjoyed visiting him each time we came to Victoria and we will miss his annual Christmas Card with family news very much. Brad and Dion we would like to get to know you better too and introduce you to your cousins.We are planning to come on May 14th.
I will never forget how Uncle George opened his home to me and my husband (Nick),when we first moved to Victoria. Nick so enjoyed working with him at ” Books n’ Crannies”. Uncle George was loved very much and will be missed by his niece (Geraldine) , Nick and Brandon McCormick.
My deepest condolences go out to the friends and family of Mr. Homeniuk.
These times shall soon get better.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
