He retired from the National Guard on March 22, 1979 after 38 years of military service. George worked as a Manager in the trucking industry at Spector Freight prior to his retirement. He enjoyed spending time with his family, playing golf, feeding the birds, tending his beautiful flower garden, and "skunking" his kids in cribbage. George was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Cubs. George had an excellent work ethic that he instilled in all of his children.
