He was a Medic with the U.S. Army from 1971 to 1973. He gave the ultimate gift in donating his body to medical research to help in the search for a cure for cancer. A very giving man, who loved his family and sports, he was a 1971 graduate of Logan Hills High School where he played football and baseball. He loved music, dancing, bingo and casinos, his cats and also enjoyed bird watching. He always enjoyed his food, although he would never gain a pound. He considered himself a very lucky man who was loved by so many and felt very blessed.

George was also a member of the Eagles, AMVETS and former Post Commander of the American Legion.
