Condolence: My condolences on your loss. George was an exceptionally kind and thoughtful person. When I first met George he explained the why's and how's of stomach content analysis to me in the early 2000s. It was kind instruction to a young researcher and deeply appreciated.

Condolence From: Mac Mercer
Condolence: To Daphne and family,
I was saddened to learn that George had passed away. We had known each other since high school and I was happy to reconnect when I moved back to DFO Newfoundland in 1981, soon after George had joined the lab. He was always respected as a fine scientist who had a wide breadth of knowledge which he shared to the benefit of his colleagues. He was a true gentleman.
My sincerest sympathy to you all at this difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear of George's passing. I worked at DFO with George for over twenty years. As a capelin researcher we often discussed the interdynamics of his and my chosen species and he never failed to broaden my scientific horizons. George was such a gentle yet strong soul, I am both grateful and honoured to have had the opportnity to know him.

Condolence From: Allenby Pinhorn
Condolence: To George's Family.
I was so surprised and saddened by the news of George's death. I of course was well acquainted with George since hiring him to work on cod-capelin interactions in the late 1990s. He was a very thorough scientist and soon became very knowledgeable in the interactions of cod and their environment. As time passed he also came to know more of gadoids in general and cod in particular than almost anyone else in his field. He and his knowledge will be greatly missed. Condolences from Florence and me to all his family.

Condolence: Dear Daphne, Matthew and Erica,
It is with great sadness that I heard about George's passing. I will always remember George as a very dear man, hardworking and extremely knowledgable in his field, a real resource on Atlantic cod for the whole DFO station, and one who always rose above the petty politics. A wonderful Father, Husband & friend who will remain forever in our hearts.

Condolence From: John T Anderson
Condolence: Dear Daphne, Matthew, Erica and extended family. It is very sad to learn of George’s passing. George and I were scientific colleagues and friends from the moment we arrived in Newfoundland in 1979. And we were family friends before and after having children. I can remember George playing Tuesday night hockey in the early 1980s in his big red sweater, always smiling as he chased the puck. I remember George sitting around a campfire as we told stories to our young children in the wilderness of Trinity Bay. And I remember George forever teaching us all about the intricacies of Atlantic cod in a never-ending quest to understand. Fond memories of a friend who will be missed.

Condolence: My deepest sympathies to Daphne and the rest of the Lilly clan. The sad news was quite startling. I first met George when he began working for DFO in the late 1970s and he remained a colleague in the Groundfish Division throughout our careers. He was a meticulous, careful scientist who took great pride in his work and it’s value. He also knew more about the history of cod fishery in NL than anyone else I ever met. Rest In Peace George!

Condolence From: George Winters
Condolence: I met George as a frosh Science student in Sept 1962.
We graduated together, after which our academic careers diverged until George joined DFO as a gadoid scientist in the 1970s.
George excelled as a dedicated resaearcher of NorthWest Atlantic gadoid stocks, including their productivity in relation to marine oceanology and cod’s pivotal interactions with key prey such as capelin and key predators such as seals.
Both DFO ‘s marine mammal and capelin research programs benefited enormously from George’s contributions to our knowledge of NL marine ecosystem as exemplified by biological interactions of these species .
George will be sadly missed by the gadoid intelligentsia .
My condolences to his extended family.
