During his retirement, he and his wife Liz traveled the around the USA, visiting old friends and family along the way. During the winter and early spring, he would tap the trees in his yard and make maple syrup, which was enjoyed by many.
A family statement reads: Interestingly, George was a simple, yet complex man. He was a hard worker, from the most menial task, to figuring out and fixing difficult mechanical issues.
