He was predeceased by his wife Ruth of 70 years and sister Marjory. On October 17, 1924, George was born in Keewatin, Ontario. He had a happy childhood in Keewatin, exploring the area by foot, boat and bicycle, learning the clarinet and teasing his sister.

George was stationed in Moncton, New Brunswick where he met the love of his life "Ruthie". They were married in September, 1945 and returned west living for a short time in Keewatin. Soon after, they moved to Winnipeg so George could continue his education. He then established a successful career with Canada Packers for over 41 years. Upon his retirement, George continued to support his wife in her many causes. He loved travelling with his wife to visit her sisters and their many nieces and nephews across Canada, time at the cottage, gardening and most of all, time spent with his children and grandchildren.
