In 1964, George married the love of his life, Nancy Elizabeth Bridges. Together, they raised four children in Indianapolis.

He participated enthusiastically in his children’s activities, coaching sports teams, driving to music lessons, attending school events, and always making time to be with each of them. George and Nancy were members of Northwood Christian Church in Indianapolis. George loved his church, and served there for as long as he was able, as an elder, a Sunday School teacher, and in numerous other capacities. Always willing to help those in need, he had a kind, gentle, loving soul.
