George was born in Athens, Greece in 1928. In 1948, George immigrated
to Canada where he briefly attended university in Montreal before
moving west to Edmonton. He graduated with a Civil Engineering
degree from the University of Alberta in 1955 and went on to
establish a successful engineering consulting practice based
in Edmonton. During his time with Camrec Facilities Ltd, George
was involved in recreational facilities design throughout Canada,
the United States, and Europe, and he was instrumental in introducing
zero-depth pools and wave pools to the North American market.
The West Edmonton Mall World Waterpark and the Southland Leisure
Centre in Calgary are two facilities George was especially proud
of. In 1991, George retired to spend more time with his family
and travel the world. George will be remembered as a devoted
husband, caring father, respected businessman and a man of his
word. A celebration of George's life will be held on Friday,
November 3rd, 2006, beginning at 1: 30 p.m. at the Royal Glenora
Club, 11160 River Valley Road, Edmonton. In lieu of flowers,
donations in George's name may be made either to the George Naoum
Civil Engineering Scholarship Fund or to the Caritas Hospital
Foundation, Palliative Care Unit, 11111 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton,
Alberta T5K 0L4. George's family express their heartfelt thanks
to Doctor Chea and his team at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, and
to Doctor Humphries and the staff at the Mel Miller Palliative Care
Unit for their wonderful care of George during his remaining
days.
