Throughout their marriage, they lived in Fremont, NE, Wichita Falls, Houston, TX, Phoenix, AZ., Huntingtown, MD, Mansfield, Venus, Belton and Burleson, all in TX. The moves followed George's job changes as an Electrical Design Engineer. They retired on their farm in Venus, TX. After George's Alzheimer's progressed, they sold the farm and moved to Belton, TX to be near two sons who lived close. Their final move was to Burleson, TX to The Wilshire Senior Living, close to a daughter and son.

George had many interests. He ran a Marathon, learned to fly, taught flying, farmed, hunted, read extensively (His favorites were about old-time Texas and all Tom Clancy's books), and tinkered with old cars. His favorites were Hudsons. He had two 1952 Hudson Hornets and a 1935 Terraplane project. George and Roberta traveled to many Hudson National Meets in many areas of the USA making friends wherever they went. George and Roberta were 27 years members of the HET club, joining in Salt Lake City in 1997.
