George served his country in the United States Marine Corps in the Korean War and was honorably discharged. He was known to sign off all text messages and emails with Sempi Fi (Always faithful).

George was a master union brick layer and mason, mentoring others in that trade. He was a member of VFW Post 1386 and the Masonic Lodge #182 in Newburgh, serving as the Worshipful Master.

George loved country music and was a performer in his early years. He was a faithful member of St. Mark's Chapel AME Church right up until the time of his passing. On any given Sunday morning, you would find him providing music on the drums.

George was well known and loved by the Kingston community. If he could do anything for you, he would. He loved his family and was beloved by all and was a loyal friend. He could be seen riding around town with man's best friend, his beloved Lexie and her sidekick, Libby.
