I was a close friend & colleague of Georg Anton Kralik, M.A.Sc., P.Eng, FEC, OoH, and served along with him on the Executive Board of Professional Engineers Ontario-West Toronto Chapter (PEO-WTC), for 15 years until his recent passing away on April 25, 2023.
He would often give me a ride to venues such as the Etobicoke Golf & Country Club, where PEO-WTC held our Quad Licence Presentation Ceremonies along with three other neighboring Chapters of PEO.
He was very punctilious & precise in whatever he did, and was a credit to the Profession of Engineering in Ontario and Canada, being honoured by each with: an Order of Honour (OoH) by PEO, and a Fellowship (FEC), by Engineers Canada.
I have attached a photo of Georg & myself, taken at an Ontario Professional Engineers Awards ceremony attended by over 500 other engineers & their guests, held at the Toronto International Centre on November 17, 2018. Georg Kralik is wearing his Order of Honour Medal of which he was very proud!
With my best wishes to his family and friends,
Professional Engineer 1976
