On March 3, 1962, he married Beverly (Farley). Together they raised their children, Michael, Lisa and Tami-Ann and in 1974 moved to Gorham, Maine. George worked for AAA for many years, and subsequently for Cruises Only, specializing in Sales. George was a skilled baseball player, as a pitcher well known for his 96 mph fastball.

He was a passionate Red Sox fan, and missed only 1 Patriots game since their origin. Above all, George's favorite past times included family gatherings, a hardcore love of music (classic rock) and spending time on his back deck, which he referred to as "George's tiki bar".
