After graduation, he proudly served his country in the United States Navy. In December of 1973, he married Theresa Betit, and they settled in Sidney where he dedicated years of service to his community as the Assistant Fire Chief of Sidney and a member of the Town of Sidney Planning Board. He also belonged to the Sidney Masons and was a life member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks lodge #964 Augusta.
George was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, ice fishing and just simply being outside. He enjoyed traveling to other states and to Canada to pursue his passion, but hunting and fishing in Maine was his favorite pastime.
