George was born March 12, 1934 in Utica to Lewis and Florence (Anderson) Mundt. He attended Perry Country School in rural Utica through the 8th grade. George served 2 years in the National Guard before being drafted into the United States Army at the end of the Korean Conflict. In 1961, George married Judith Schreiber and they had one son, Tim.
