On December 26, 1954, George married the love of his life, Carol Mae Swanson. Together they celebrated 70 wonderful years of marriage this past December with family and friends.

George was deeply rooted in his community. He was named Outstanding Young Farmer of the Year for both Cass and Barnes Counties and was honored as a Cass County NDSU Harvest Bowl recipient. He was a 4-H leader, served on numerous boards, and was a respected leader and mentor throughout his life.

He especially cherished time at the lake with his family and enjoyed winters in Mesa during retirement.
