George was born in Racine on September 10, 1951, the youngest son of the late Carroll and Viola (Nee: Eisley) Petricek.  He attended local schools in his youth, and attended UW Parkside.

On September 21, 1974 at Holy Name Catholic Church in Racine he was united in marriage to his friend and sweetheart, Cheryl (Cheri) A. Pietras.

By far George’s greatest joy in life was his family, especially his two grandsons.
