    • TILT, George Robert - Passed away peacefully, at home, on Monday, January 12, 2009, in his 85th year. Beloved father of Bob (Janet), Barb (John Jr.) Belez, James (Patricia), Carolyn, Karen and George (Rochenda). Loving grandfather of Rob (Jessica), Dave, Ken, (Caitlin) Tilt, Jessica (Norman) Dupuis, Johnny Belez, Sydney, Hayden, Parker and Ian Tilt. Great-grandfather of Mackenzie Dupuis. Sadly missed by his brother, Russell Tilt; sisters-in-law, Marie Tilt and Doreen Israel; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews.

George was a third generation of the Tilt Families living in Doon and was proud to continue that tradition with his own family. In his younger years, he farmed with his brother, John on the family farm. After selling the farm, he worked in construction and later was employed by the Waterloo County Board of Education until retirement in 1989. His passion in life was raising poultry and he showed them in many fairs throughout Ontario. He always strived for excellence in the many varieties of breeds he raised. George was a lifetime member of his church where he was actively involved with the preservation and restoration of the Doon Presbyterian Church.
