George Lengvari lived a remarkable life. The early part was shaped by the wars of the 20th century. His father was killed in the First World War, just months before he was born. Both his brothers were killed in the Second World War.At the end of the war George and his young family were living in a refugee camp in Austria, exiles from their native Hungary. George, an educated man with a doctorate and law degree, started to rebuild from the bottom. He started as a gardener and beekeeper in Scotland and then moved to Montreal with his wife, son and baby daughter in 1951. He arrived with nothing and the family lived for a while in a one-room basement apartment.Within a few years George Lengvari was a successful businessman. He invented new forms of life insurance and became a motivational speaker at conferences around the world. When he was 80 he was the top life insurance producer for Manulife Financial, not just in Canada but the world. He was an inspirational figure for many thousands and worked until the last year of his life.
