Remembering Kroeger’s George Nicholson

April 13, 2023 | The Toy Association and its members mourn the recent passing of George Nicholson, who worked in the sales department at Kroeger Inc. He died suddenly of a heart attack on April 7 at the age of 72.

Following a short stint in the military, George transitioned to a sales career and spent more than three decades working at Kroeger, a Canadian wholesale distributor of toys and games.

“George was an incredibly vibrant and friendly man who dedicated his life to the Kroeger community and his beautiful family,” Grant Chapman, president of Kroeger said. “As everyone close to him mourns his sudden passing, we recall so many fond memories of George and his antics. He was always ready to help, but also always ready to make everyone smile and lighten the mood. Rest in peace George Nicholson, and thank you for gracing the Kroeger community with your beautiful soul.”

Nicholson is survived by his wife of 55 years, Paulette; daughter Cheryl; grandchildren Shanondoah and Daniel; stepfamily Sean, Andrew, and Evelyn; and great-grandson Brandon.
