He spent his youth in the Hill Country farming and ranching.
George married Frances Avila in 1941 and looked to the big city for employment. Detroit, Mich. steel mills did not suit him; so he came back to Texas and gained employment with the Santa Fe Railway Company where he remained employed for greater than 32 years, retiring in 1980.
George was of the Methodist faith and his family helped start the church in Moody, Texas.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Cecillo and Florentina Soliz; wife, Frances Avila Soliz; seven brothers and two sisters.
