He married Joyce Colleen Conley August 17, 1949, in Independence, Kansas, and she preceded him in death September 4, 2004.

George served during WWII in Company A of the 318th Infantry and was honorably discharged in November of 1945 with a Purple Heart for wounds he received in battle in February of 1945. He was also awarded The French Legion of Honor which is the highest French distinction for fighting in France during WWII. George went on to teach for several at Parsons Middle School and High School. He then went on to achieve his doctoral degree in Educational Leadership at the University of Arkansas. George completed his career in education as a Professor and student teacher supervisor at Pittsburg State University.

Survivors include his children, Peggy Joyce Bebb of Kalispell, Montana, Leo Everett Hudiburg and wife Janene of Pittsburg, Kansas, and Kenneth Joe Hudiburg and wife Michelle of Fort Scott, Kansas; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
