On October 14, 1995 he married Tommie Tomcsanyi in Fridley, MN. George worked as an equipment handler for the United States Post Office, retiring in 2008.
Although George was a quiet man, when he spoke he had something worth hearing. He enjoyed watching NASCAR and dirt track racing, collecting model cars, drawing, and studying the Word of God.

George was especially talented with building and his architectural skills were handy when planning special projects around his home. His backyard was a little Garden of Eden having a pond with fish, many beautiful trees and shrubs.
