In 1988, George fulfilled his lifelong dream, when he earned a degree in Biblical Studies from Liberty University. George volunteered many hours conducting worship services for rescue missions in Watsonville and San Jose, California. After he and Barbara retired to Great Falls in 1994.

He would volunteered at the Great Falls Rescue Mission until his health began to fail.
