George was born February 26th, 1950, the oldest of three boys. He is survived by his brother John Francis Nixon (Lynn). He is predeceased by his brother Kevin Cornelius Nixon.  He was the loving, devoted father of Amy Greer (Robert) and Allison Nixon-Mulroy (Brian).

George worked for the New York City Housing Authority as a manager, his career spanned over three decades. George will be remembered for his love of movie trivia, Motown music, the New York Yankees, and especially his love of travel and cruising the world with his children and grandchildren. He will also be missed by his many friends and family whom he mentored and advised in many areas. George had a positive impact on everyone he met. George was incredibly generous, not only with the big things (He took his family all over the globe when he could), but also the little things, especially his time, (He never missed one of his grandkids ballgames, he never missed an opportunity to exchange a Christmas gift with those he loved, especially his former sister-in-law Carol Cordes, another longtime pal).
