George was born on July 28, 1925 in New London, the son of Harold and Cecelia Kelly Alger. After attending the former Buckley High School in New London, he entered the Marines and was stationed in California until his return to New London in 1946. George worked at the former New London Mills for many years, where he also represented the workers as President of Local 462 of the Paperworkers Union from 1950 until the plants closing in 1969. George was very proud of the opportunity to represent his members and work for positive changes in their lives. George was later employed by United Nuclear in Montville, where he worked for 18 years as a hand finisher until his retirement in 1988. George was an avid Red Sox fan since the days of Ted Williams, whom George admired, both for his play on the field as well his dedication to the art of fly fishing which George also loved. George was active in youth sports during the 1950s and 1960s such as the New London Little League and Pee Wee football programs, where he coached several teams. George was an avid fly fisherman. For more than seventy years, George could be found wading the local streams with a fly rod in search of trout. George also made countless trips to the West Branch of the Ausable River in New York, where he and his wife Evelyn, shared times he continued to cherish up until the day of his passing. George was passionate about politics. He a strong Democrat and loved to argue current events with anyone up to the challenge. He was quick to make a call or pen letters to politicians, both local and national, giving his concerns and views.

George remained an avid golfer throughout his later years even scoring an 84 at the Pequot Golf Course while he was 84 yrs old. George was always first off in the morning and valued how fast he could walk eighteen holes or sometimes 36 holes as much as his golf score. George was a dedicated family man.
