He was a Journeyman Electrician and a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 124 for 75 years. He and Alice owned two Beauty Shops in Overland Park and Shawnee, KS. They were also part owner of KCQ Family Billiards in Kansas City, KS. They very much enjoyed traveling by RV spending winters in Texas and Arizona. Cruising was also a favorite to places like the Caribbean, Alaska, Panama Canal, and New Zealand. They celebrated 67 years of marriage until Alice, the love of his life, passed away in March 2014. George was also preceded in death by his father George Geer, his mother Martha Armstrong Ackerbloom, his stepfather Harry Ackerbloom, his very close Aunt Mary Armstrong, his much-loved son-in-law James V.
