George began his career as a welder and later went on to work for the Milwaukee County Transit System and MillerCoors. He was an artist of many talents, including being a musician playing multiple instruments for his own band. He painted and welded his own artistic art sculptures. He had an imagination out of this world and was known for his own home movies.

George was proud of his service in the US Army where he served in the 82nd Airborne. He and Carmen enjoyed traveling, especially to the states where he was stationed. He was an avid chess player. His biggest wish was to be surrounded by women and he got his wish with a houseful of women.
