GEORGE T. PEISKAR

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George on November 10, 2025 in St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 77.

George is survived by his spouse Irena; his daughters, Paula and Michelle (their mother Dorothy); his sister Diana; and extended family and friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, Josef Lichnovsky and Jiřina Lichnovska.

George emigrated to Canada in 1968 from the Czech Republic. He explored many passions and professions. He took flying lessons, worked in the restaurant industry, became an Electrolux salesman, owned a framing shop, managed concessions at the Fort Garry casino, owned and ran restaurants, and eventually became a trucker.

George had a remarkable presence. He brought warmth, humour, and incredible strength wherever he went. He never hesitated to speak his mind and he instilled confidence and independence in his daughters.

He valued quality and craftsmanship, appreciated fine details and had an eye for beautiful things - not out of vanity, but out of respect for skill, effort, and excellence.

A special thank you to Shane Neufeld and his team at Ethical Death Care for their help through the process. We are extremely grateful.

In accordance with the family's wishes, burial has taken place and no formal service held.

May you rest in peace, 

until we see you again!
