George was acknowledged for his contributions to the book, Advanced Techniques in Turbo Prolog by Carl Townsend, and was considered a pioneer in that field.

Numerous friends and neighbors in The Villages will miss his helpfulness and generosity, as George was always there to lend a hand to anyone in need.
