He spent time working in the Casino industry for a period of time, which brought him to Las Vegas & Reno, NV. He also spent some time in New York & Oklahoma. He settled down and moved to Sacramento, CA in 2018 to live with his daughter & caretaker, Chantel due to his deteriorating health.
George enjoyed spending time with his family, working on and riding motorcycles, Gangster/MOB movies, Country Western movies/shows, true crime shows, oldies music & billiards.
