The Franks family moved to California when George was a young child, later returning to Chickasha where George attended and graduated from Chickasha High School in 1959.

In 1992, when they had the opportunity to purchase the Chickasha Goodyear Store they returned to Chickasha, where he worked until his returement on January 23, 2006. George was a devoted outdoorsman. He loved to hunt and fish. He also enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his children and grandchildren, often taking them with him on his outdoor adventures.
