George Franz BEHER

Sadly, we announce the passing of George Franz Beher on Monday, June 18th, 2018. George was predeceased by his eldest son, Michael. George will be lovingly remembered by his wife of nearly 64 years, Natalie; children, Carol, Robert and Steve; six grandchildren; three siblings; and many other friends and family.

George was born in Russia in 1930, and raised in China. In 1951 he moved to the United States where he and Natalie married, and raised their four children. George spent his career in the film industry as a repairman for editing equipment. He managed the supply of equipment to the editing department for CBS Studios.

Upon retirement in 1992, after falling in love with Vancouver Island, George and his wife emigrated to BC. They settled in Qualicum Beach where he continued his passion for quilting, bowling, and his love of fishing. He also enjoyed gardening right to his last few days. George loved travelling and was very fortunate to have visited dozens of countries.

There will be a Celebration of Life to honour George at 10:00 am on Friday, June 22, 2018 at The Parksville Community Centre, 132 Jensen Avenue East, Parksville, BC.
