Tribute to George Hees
June 12, 1996
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien today paid tribute to the
late George Hees:
"I was saddened to learn of the death of George Hees,
who was my colleague in the House of Commons for many years. He
had a distinguished career in both business and politics, and
also served his country with distinction in World War II.
George Hees was truly a gentleman -- a courtly and congenial
man who was admired for his good humour and charm. He was also
respected as a business leader who believed in the importance
of public service. No one could ever doubt his commitment to his
party, to Parliament, and to his country.
Aline and I extend our condolences to the family and friends
of the late George Hees."
