George had a smile that could win you over without him saying a word. He loved joking, playing, and making everyone laugh. He loved money and at a noticeably early age he learned how to get out and make money. He did not care if it was collecting cans, playing cards, or his favorite shooting dice. he got his nickname "George" from his aunt Earsie. She would come to see him and ask what the baby's name was. They would tell her, but when she came back, she would ask where George was. So that stuck with him. George had a passion for music. He was a huge fan of KC music and was always up for a party.
