After a near-fatal 1999 car crash that required the Jaws of Life, George became sober and reportedly did not drink or smoke again before his death from respiratory failure in 2013 at 81. Nancy says he credited her with saving his life, and she plans a 95th birthday tribute for him on Sept. 13 in Nashville.
