George received the Air Medal three times, and earned the Outstanding Unit Award, National Defense Service Medal and Vietnam Service Medal, among others.

In 1967 he started St. George LTD Foreign Car Parts and Repairs, and ran the enterprise before closing it after 50 years in business,Basketball was his love; he was an avid supporter of the Duke Blue Devils. He was the first season ticket holder of the San Antonio Spurs and helped organize midnight basketball in the city.
