A proud Washingtonian, George was born and raised in the Brookland neighborhood of northeast Washington, D.C. George was a 1955 graduate of St. Anthony's High School and later earned a B.A. degree from the University of Maryland, College Park. He married Barbara ("Bobby") Edlund in 1962 and they raised three children together. George worked for IBM for much of his career and then later worked as an auditor for Montgomery County Public Schools. George and Bobby also owned an antiques business and spent many weekends looking for treasures to fill their various antique booths. They loved to travel and especially enjoyed visiting the beach. George volunteered many hours with Educational Systems Federal Credit Union, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and The Compassionate Friends. He will be best remembered for his chatty, easygoing attitude and ready smile.
