On January 18, 1947, he united in holy matrimony to Mary Gladys Groves. To this union they were blessed with two sons. Randall preceded them in death in 2001 and his wife, Gladys of 64 years, who preceded him in death in September 2011. George served in the United States Army Air Corp during World War II and was a supply clerk stationed in Greenwood, Mississippi. After military service, he was a farmer and entered into public work in 1957 where he worked as a lumberyard foreman at Lanham Flooring until 1968. His other employment included World Woods in Houston, Texas, Tennessee Gas and at Ingersoll Rand, where he retired in 1985. After retirement, he worked the family farm and enjoyed the activities of growing farm produce and livestock. Also George and Gladys were noted for their elephant ear flowers that decorated their carport. George was an avid people person; he never met a stranger.

During his tenure at Jacob Grove, he was Sunday School secretary, church clerk, treasurer, deacon of 40 plus years and the adult Sunday School teacher.
