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.
