Hamilton’s oldest Olympian, a jack of all trades in sports, passed away Saturday.
George Larson was 94.
Larson starred in the pool, on the football field and in the wrestling ring as well as enjoying a long career with the city police force.
He said he was a walking advertisement for the legacy of sports facilities.
Larson learned to swim at Jimmy Thomson Memorial Pool, which was built for the 1930 British Empire Games, and soon turned a nickle-a-swim habit into a place on the 1932 Los Angeles Games,

When I was walking the beat on James Street North as a cop, I had a brawl with four drunk guys in front of a bar. It was George, he was a detective who came to help me get the guys into the back of the Black Marriah (that is what we called the lock up van). He came by after I had three of the guys under control and he got the fourth one into cuffs and loaded in to the Police Van.
