It is with sadness that our Vets report the death of retired Assistant Commissioner George Paquette in North Vancouver, BC on March 14, 2012.
George joined the RCMP in Edmonton, AB in 1941. Following training at 'Depot', he was transferred to Wakaw Detachment in 'F' Div. He served in Montreal, QC and New Brunswick before being transferred to 'D' Div. He served in Dauphin and Winnipeg, MB.
He was Commissioned in 1959 and he was moved to Cornerbrook, NL. Following his service in 'B' Div. George was moved back to Montreal as Officer i/c Montreal Sub/Div. He spent his last 8 years in the Force as Commanding Officer of 'D' Div. He retired in 1975 and moved to North Vancouver, BC.
George Paquette was highly regarded by all who knew him or served with him. He has been a member of the Vancouver Division of the RCMP Veterans since 1980.
He was an active member of the North Vancouver Veteran’s Koffee Klatch, regularly attending meetings even in later years when dealing with health issues.
His family have requested an Honour Guard at the service. For condolences, please call Mrs. Joan Paquette at 604-980-1533. A reception will follow the service.
