Born in New Waterford, he was the son of the late Robert and Alice George. Dad was a member of the Canadian Forces (Black Watch) for three years, returned to Cape Breton to work in various coal mines for 35 years until his retirement due to illness. Dad also was a lobster fisherman. Until recently, he would take a drive to New Victoria to watch the power of the ocean that he loved. Before his illness, on nice fall days he loved to spend time with his sons and other family members for a day of hunting and also enjoyed a good game of cribbage. He took great pleasure in the family visits, especially the little ones, his eyes would always brighten when the babies were present.
