George Knicely & Family

Hi; I was always wondering about my papa, George Knicely. I don't have a lot of information about him, such as date of birth or where. He was a Canadian who died about 12 years ago from a stroke. He was obese, diabetic, and he owned a very successful cookie factory later sold by his second wife (I don't know her name). His first wife (or girlfriend? I don't know if they married) was Darlene, daughter of Rose Plante. Together, they had Michelle Knicely and Tamara Knicely (my mother). After cheating (from what I know) on George twice and giving birth to two more children (Melissa Knicely-Locking and Megan Knicely), the two separated and never spoke again. Related to George is someone named Rob; he built our basement in Orillia, Ontario many, many years ago. To me, he's my cousin; I don't know if he's a second-cousin or a third-cousin (he's not just a "cousin" because it doesn't make sense that way).

George died very young, though. I believe he was around 55-65 when he died. He was buried in Barrie, Ontario.

I'm searching for parents, siblings, and other ties related to George! If anyone knows anything, please message me :)

I believe we are related. George's father, Lewis Knicely was my first cousin. Lewis's second wife has a baby picture of your dad and would like to give it to you. Pat Knicely MacMillan

I am doing the Knisley/Knicely family tree so I have alot of family information. I am not close to them but I know when they were born and if they have died. Your grandfather , Lewis (Turc) died Jan. 17, 2008. Your dad George Thomas Knicely was born Feb. 13, 1945 and died June 20, 1999. Your gr. grandfather was William Knicely and was my father's brother James Knicely. My grandmother Jessie Schell Knicely and Robert Knicely had 28 grandchildren and your grandfather Lewis (Turc) was just one of many that we are related to. Pat Knicely MacMillan

Lewis = Turc? I remember my dad called someone who visited us randomly "Grandpa Turc"; he was really nice. It's a shame that he died ): and we're definitely talking about the same people; I remember Turc, and George was born in February and his middle name (Thomas) has been used as a middle name for a cousin of mine in respect to him.

This is great :) Thanks a lot for the information!
