Donald George Streatch - 85, Bible Hill, formerly of Upper Stewiacke, surrounded by loved ones, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 3, 2023. Born in Meaghers Grant, he was a son of the late Charles Stanley and Marjorie Louise (Dickie) Streatch.

Leaving school at a young age, George worked many jobs over his life, from farming, logging, truck driving and milling, to Michelin, auto-body work and heavy truck mechanic. George loved the outdoors, fishing and gardening. He was a good handy man and a great woodworker, and could fix anything with an engine - of which his family and friends routinely took advantage. George was a devoted father, grandfather, great grandfather, and husband of 61 years to Zelda who passed away earlier this year.

He will be dearly missed by his sons, Donald, Halifax; Paul (Sharon), Ottawa; daughters, Sharon, Truro; Rhonda (Mike) Scissons, Valley; grandchildren, Erin, Tyler, Ben, Emma; great grandchildren, Oliver, Emmett, Jackson, Emma; brother, Sandy (Anne); sisters, Kay (Bud), Jeannie (Lewis). Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Zelda (McCoul); son, Douglas; brothers, Ray, Jack, Howard.
