George was born February 17, 1952, in Marquette, a son of Leonard John and Armande Jean (LaBlanc) Billings and was raised in Marquette. He attended the local schools and ran track while at Marquette Senior High School. He left school at age 17 and at 18 entered the US Army. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam, receiving an honorable medical discharge before returning to Marquette. He had resided in Little Lake for the past five years.

In his leisure moments, George enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching football on TV, specially the Packers, and was a fan of the Red Wings.

George was a member of Little Lake American Legion Post 349.

George was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Robert Billings.
