George was a Sea and Boy Scout who achieved Eagle Scout. He graduated from Freeport High School in 1948. George married his high school sweetheart Sybil Dingle on June 9, 1951 and they were married for 67 years. He graduated from Texas A&M in 1952 with a BBA after serving in the Corps of Cadets. He was commissioned in the Air Force as a lieutenant stationed in Washington D.C. in signals intelligence with a pending recall and promotion to Captain during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He achieved his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certificate in 1964. After careers with Shell Oil and Brown & Root, George moved back to Brazoria County to open his public accounting practice and - as an avocation - pecan cracking with an industrial cracking machine. George enjoyed meeting with his clients for both. He cracked pecans from both his own acreage near Dancigar, Texas and his wife’s family ranch in Jones Creek.
