Towards the end of the war in the Netherlands he met Henny Groothuis at a dance after a rodeo. They married in Amersfoort, Netherlands. They settled in Raymond, where George worked for the town, and they had 5 daughters. In 1959 George became the town foreman and police officer of Foremost. Hired as the Foremost police chief and fire chief for $300.00 per month, plus $12.50 uniform allowance and $0.12 per mile for gas. After several years as police chief George went to work for the County of 40 Mile. His main job was grading the roads in the summer and snow plowing in the winter. George was active in the Legion, holding several positions on the Executive, and helping out at bingo most winter Friday nights. He was awarded a Lifetime Membership. George retired at age 55 after all the children had left home and became the town “Handyman”. He built decks and fences and did around-the-house repairs for friends and neighbors. At harvest time he would be out in the fields for long days of combining. George and Henny enjoyed camping trips to BC, one to the North West Territories and several to campgrounds near Foremost where they could fish and relax. They also drove to Nova Scotia and toured areas where George's mother grew up and attended family reunions in Minnesota, where his father came from. They welcomed all of their grandchildren. George enjoyed taking them out to look for antelope and taught any that were interested how to fish.

We think of you in silence We often speak your name All we have are memories and your picture in a frame If tears could build a stairway and heartaches build a lane, We'd walk a path to heaven and bring you home again. by Henny Haugen
