Hi everyone, 

I just found this page and wanted to share some memories. I met George my first year of college in 2010. He would give me rides home from the university when the public bus system closed. I remember his love for fast cars and eventually was able to get my own years later. We shared many good times at barbeques, movie nights, dinner at restaurants and games of ping pong. George showed me a few tricks playing ping pong that I still use to this day. I remember his smile and how we would laugh over puns that may or may not translate well across different languages. 

George got me into apologetics and gave me inspiration to work on my dialogue skills. He was always willing to speak up but remained a considerate person even when in a disagreement. I wish I would have made time to hang out the last time he visited. I wish I could give him a call now and tell him about all my adventures over the last couple years and how he enriched my life. The wisdom and friendship he shared impacted my life and the lives of all the people I have interacted with over years. 

God bless George, I miss you.

They made him a cake for his non-birthday. It was awesome and he was awestruck by the appreciation from his friends.

He got hit with a paintball  in the leg that day and it took him like two months to recover.  He had a limo for a while, but always smiled.

Nicole and Bonnie along with some of his friends made him a half birthday cake and present.  He was so confused.  Like truly baffled why he was being given a party since his birthday was no where close to that day.

We had a blast playing paintball.  This was in July of 2004. Christopher(me), Bonnie, Georges, Russ, and Matt

Just thinking about you again today my brother and missing you.  Especially with everything going on right now in the world and the Church... thinking... man... you would know what to say to give hope and encouragement right now as you always did then, no matter how bad things were getting.  

Your time was cut way too short man...

Be at peace brother.

In memory of a special brother
One year has passed since you left
They say that time’s a healer but as the time goes on i seem to find it just as hard to face the fact you’ve gone .
I hold you close within my heart , there you will remain .
I wish for my dreams to carry me to where you are to hear your voice.
I love you georges , i miss you so much .


I worked for George for 3 years, count him as a friend. He was such a kind person.  He was always smiling.  I  miss him and will never forget him.  As many of you know George was a devout Catholic and I remember him telling me there was only one church, the Catholic church, I got a chuckle and asked him to pray for me. See him again someday.

I was shocked to learn of your passing.  You always made the world a better place where ever you went.  You made a positive impact on every person who met you.  The world will be less bright without you.  
I can just imagine you in heaven greeting and talking to everyone!  We will miss you.  With the help of God's grace I hope to see you again in heaven.

I just found out about your passing even though we have not talked in a long time, due to life and schedules, you are still a very close brother and will be dearly missed.  We had many good times, starting the CAFE group, game nights, and defending the Church together.  How many times we stayed up talking about scripture and apologetics until the sun came up and so many more wonderful memories.  We laughed and cried together as brothers in the good times of our lives and in the bad.  Even though there was not as much contact after the move to Florida, when we did speak, it was as if our fellowship was just as strong.  You will be missed my brother and I pray that God gives me the grace to get to heaven one day so that we may meet again.  Eternal Memory Brother...

George had such positive effect on my life. Like everyone else, he taught me so much about God and the Catholic Church and helped me grow closer to Christ. I'll never forget him or my memories of us driving around in my car just talking. I remember just being in awe of his knowledge and his life experience. I wish I could thank him for his friendship. I feel honored to have been his friend, and I'll treasure his memory and pray for him fervently.

I'll miss you buddy! You were a good friend and a very special person. You embodied the essence of integrity. You left us too soon.

TO GEORGES FAMILY, 
GEORGES WAS A WONDERFUL, COMPASSIONATE PERSON; A REAL CHRISTIAN.  WE USED HIS SERVICES SEVERAL TIMES.  HE WAS VERY INTELLIGENT AND WE HAD WONDERFUL CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM.  WE TRIED TO REACH HIM TO CONFIRM AN APPOINTMENT AND WHEN WE COULDN'T REACH HIM SOMEONE TOLD US HE HAD PASSED.  MAY GOD BE WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME AND MAY GEORGES REST IN PEACE...……..BLESSINGS

                                                               GEORGE AND BARBARA SCHERER



Such a professional. When George did not pick us up we were afraid something dreadful occurred. Bless his family.

I am in shock and disbelief... for days I have tried to reach Georges to confirm a weekend reservation. He always answered or replied in short order. 

I first met this wonderful man when he drove for the Rays on the day of our Ybor stadium announcement. I would eventually begin to rely on him to drive my wife and I for dinners, airport runs and nights on the town. My family got to know him and I always looked forward to seeing him. He was hard working, dedicated, kind, polite and compassionate. We laughed - we had conversations about our lives, and I considered him a friend.

May he rest in the peace of Christ. Laura and I will miss you my friend.

My Good friend,the best of them.
We shared a lot on daily Basis for hours during the past 6 years and you were the brother and the friend.

From 23rd of May until 1st of June, all i want to believe that he was in vacation without access to Internet, while he never missed a call or a message, but sadly i came with the bad news.

No words can express my feelings now, took me few days to get the courage to write here, our discussions and memories will always be remembered.
During our friendship, i only know you as the most gentle, religious ,honest man ever, you were a true Christian , Jesus Lover,and i am truly sure that you are now in his care.

Rest in peace my dear friend.
Ahmad Naanouh


I am still sitting here in shock and one more very pleasant memory came back to me.

On one of our first trips, Georges was taking me home and we had a very spirited and entertaining discussion about religion and politics. We were laughing and at times debating.

When we arrived at my home, I teased Georges and said  "now that we are friends I dont want to sully our relationship with money . " Georges said  "of course, forget about the fare ."  While I was joking I truly believe Georges was serious. We then got into a faux wrestling match with me trying to press my credit card into his palm and him refusing.

My wife and I were clients and we are heartbroken so  I cant imagine the pain his family 
must be in .

May this very wonderful man rest in peace.



My wife and I are in shock. We have been calling Georges for the last few days to arrange a ride and there has been no answer and on the off chance  I Googled his name and arrived here.

Georges would drive my wife and me to the airport frequently. He was always kind, thoughtful and a delight to speak to . We would talk about the middle east and his experiences as an Arab and ours as Jews. He was quite clearly a very intelligent and educated man.

One day he was picking us up from the airport and I asked him to get a flower for my wife as it was her birthday. He came with balloons, flowers and chocolate. My wife believed I was the sweetest husband in the world when it was in fact all Georges. As he left us off at our house , we got into a friendly argument as he didnt want me to pay for the gifts but of course I did.

My wife and I are sitting here in stunned and pained silence. The fact that we feel this way about a man who had driven us back and forth to the airport says all one needs to know about this wonderful man.

Our deepest condolences.

To Georges Saade's Family, we are in deep shock and mourning for we, June and Laura Bush, have lost a very, very dear friend!  George was not only our personal driver but had become family to us.  Over the last few years,  he and I shared so many conversations about faith, life and politics. We had so many of the same opinions, and we both looked forward to our time together so we could continue our conversations.  He brought me a Catholic Bible that had a chapter not found in the King James version.  He shared many stories of his family life in Lebanon, and it was obvious he loved and respected all members of his family, especially his Mother.   George was one of the most honest, decent, kind, compassionate Christian men I have ever known. He was such a joy  to be with, and especially to laugh with him at some of his antics.  I truly believe the Lord brought Georges and us together for a reason known only to Him.  I have lost one of my best friends, and I will miss him every day, but I know I will see him again in Heaven one day.  We love you, Georges!


for my brother Georges
A million times I will miss you.
In my heart you hold a place no one else can fill.
You didn’t go alone, part of me went with you 
We will meet again someday
