The son of a butcher, George got a job at IBM before working with computers aboard the aircraft carrier USS Hancock during the Vietnam War. Returning stateside, he graduated from University of Illinois, where he took both of the computer courses the school offered. George’s career took him and his family from Chicago to Atlanta then to Rockford, Illinois, where he worked for IBM and the Rockford Diocese. After retiring, he and his wife lived in Divide, CO before joining their son and his family in Indianapolis.

George had a strong commitment to his family, his faith, and the pro life cause, and was known for his warmth and integrity.
