George was educated at Souris High School and Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown. After the death of his father in 1927, he entered into a partnership with his brother Ray in the family menswear business which was established in Souris by Waldron in 1898. George was also involved in the community as a member of the board of trustees for the Souris Hospital and as the secretary-treasurer and superintendent of Sunday Schools for St. James United Church. He had a great interest in Prince Edward Island history and genealogy. He wrote several books including "Historic Bedeque", "Summerside Saints and Sinners", and "Claws, Tales and Tomally".
