Three children were born to this union, Allan, Ranae and Shane. George farmed his entire life in the Lake Park area until he passed away on July 26, 2013 at Lakes Regional Healthcare in Spirit Lake at seventy-three years of age.

George enjoyed fishing, gambling, stopping to visit at the local coffee shop, driving around checking the crops and the boys and running a dozer.
