It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of George Bamlett at Points West Living in Red Deer. Alberta. He was born on February 16 and passed away at the age of 96 years. He was the eldest of 4 boys and was born in the Alsask Hospital. He spent his early years in Marengo Sask. The family later moved to a farm in the Riding Mountain area. In Dec of 1941 he joined the army overseas in various countries. He returned home in 1946 after the war ended. He married the love of his life, Edith Bamlett (Howard) in Sept of 1947. They moved to Winnipeg briefly but returned to Neepawa where he worked for Murrays garage. In 1950 he bought a farm in the Tobermore district and did some farming, but his first love was the mechanical business. In 1953 he got his Journeyman Electrical License. Most of his work was residential and he was well known around the area. He made many friends and was someone to be trusted. He was very busy farming, doing mechanical work for others as well as his electrical business. In 1969 he moved into Neepawa and got into the electrical business in a bigger way with commercial wiring and many men working for him, but also looked after the smaller jobs people were asking to be done. In 1975 he moved to Eden and semi-retired. At this time, he turned the electrical business over to his son John (John’s Electric). He had handed this well-established business over but people continually wanted dad to come and do the work as he had built himself a reputation over the years. In Eden, he had a machine shop there and garage which he later sold to Penno’s manufacturing. He was very versatile and could turn his hand to quite a few things. He never lacked for anything to. In 1988/89 they made the move to Calgary to be closer to his brothers and family. He also kept busy manufacturing items people needed but could not be readily bought. As time moved on and some health issues arose they moved to Red Deer and finally into Points West Living where they were given exceptional care and were well liked by all staff. They were well taken care of and regularly visited and taken out when it was possible by the daughters that lived close. Besides his work he had 5 children to help raise. He will be missed by his children Ronald Bamlett, Diane Frank, John (Yvonne) Bamlett, Elaine Sangster (Don), and David Bamlett. He will be sadly missed by his 7 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He loved and admired all of them and was lucky to have gotten to know and spend time with them. He was predeceased by his parents Winnifred and Fred Bamlett, his loving wife (Edith Bamlett) of 71 years and his brother Joe Bamlett. He will fondly be remembered by his brothers Robert Bamlett and Edward Bamlett.

It will be a donation greatly appreciated and is something money cannot buy. Arrangements in care by Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium.
