Hello Sandra, 
This is Ramesh Karne, George's friend at IBM and also at College Park. I was looking for his contact number online and found a sad news. Our deepest sorrow and condolence for your family.  I wanted to thank him for his help to become a research scientist at College Park and a Professor at Towson University.  It is too late to thank him now. We met you and your family many times at our house and also yours.  I wish you best of health and good times with your children and grand children.

I worked with George at IBM.  I was stunned when I belatedly heard of his passing.  He was passionate, smart and engaging.   He spoke about his upbringing in Lebanon and what he witnessed.  I am so sorry to hear of his passing.  He will be missed by many.  

I grew up with Katie and was probably in the family household at least on a monthly basis for much of my childhood. On one of my first ventures out after getting my license, I got completely lost off highway 29. Although I was really not far from home, with my knowledge of highways and back roads at that time, I might as well have been in another country. Feeling very anxious, with no gps, and with none of my parents picking up the phone, I called the Atallah home number. George probably spent 45 minutes on the phone with me trying to figure out where I was and directing me based on the very little information I had to give him. He didn't hang up until I knew where I was. That's a good person.  

GOODBYE TO A VALUED NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND! In the nearly 25 years the Rager Family enjoyed your friendly and engaging neighborly manner, we have gotten to know you as a true American who has come to this country and made a very large difference in the lives of many people. I know a little about your serious contributions to the major technology challenges that you were trusted to solve by some of America's most advanced technology companies. There is no doubt in my mind that only someone with your combination of intellect, vision and ability to maneuver the rough politics of the corporate world could have been as successful as you. You will be remembered fondly by the entire Rager family and the neighbors who are traveling this week and we wish you to rest In peace. Our deepest condolences to Sandra and the Atallah family that was at the core of George's full life. Your untimely loss will inspire us to appreciate every day.

George, my dear friend... I am going to miss you dearly.... that laugh, your contagious smile, your warmth and generosity.  Thank you for a lifetime of memories; I will always cherish the times we spent together  (working the land, graduations, marriages, babies being born, and just talking).  I have been so blessed.  Thank you for including me in all these great life events.  You will always be in my heart. I will say "So long" for now until we can enjoy a bowl of fasolia together! XOXO

He was a dear friend of mine and a friend to the world. Memories of duck hunting with George in the mid-1980's remain a blessing. May his family find peace and comfort.

We will never forget you and we will preserve your legacy forever. We promise to remember you and keep you present.
You will be greatly missed.
You are forever in our hearts
I will never forget the moments we shared. 
Thank you for the memories. 
Thank you for the life we shared.
It's so hard to say goodbye. Goodbye for now.
We'll see each other in the next life.
I am praying for you and will be thinking of you often.
I will miss you, and you will always be in my heart.
Thank you for being in my life.

My Uncle Georges,

One of the most inspirational persons I ever had the privilege of knowing.

The Myth:-
I grow up being told what seemed like “folk stories” of this Man who battled through the hurdles of what life through at him. Striving to succeed without letting any obstacles in his way slow him down. Educating himself at all times, even while ploughing the cucumber fields or in the heat of the family bakery. 
By his early 20’s his life journey took him to the land of opportunity- America.

The Man:- 
In April 2015, I was finally able to to put a face to the Man I’d only ever know as Kholo Georges. In the short but life memorable weeks I spent with him. He shared/educated me with more of his life achievements and mile stones not to mention the love and warmth of his Family. 

The legend:- 
On the 25 December 2021 at the Peak of his Pinnacle my Kholo Georges joint his beloved Parents (Chalita Youssef Atallah and Machaallah Salim Abi Shaleh) and Sister (my Mother - Georgette Atallah Darwich) in eternal life.

You will forever be embedded in are hearts - May you now be at Rest 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

George made his friends feel like special family.  He had so much happiness, humor and love surrounding him, and you couldn't help but smile and laugh and feel cherished while you were with him.  A smile will always come to our faces as we think of him, and we will carry him forever in our hearts.  Sending much love to you all.... XOXOXO

My best fishing buddy, George loved to go fishing on the Chesapeake Bay in the summer to catch Stripers. We had some great times out there.  Memories that will last a lifetime.  I will surely miss you  my dear friend, buddy and pal.  

Have known George for about 35 years, enough to assure you he is as "real", authentic, compassionate, smart and outspoken as anybody can ever be. I have seen him go out of his way to help lot of folks; also listened to him  often come up with very different ways to analyze  problems or challenges . He says it like it is with no mean spirit or malicious intent. I will miss him tremendously especially regarding the way he educated me about the crazy  Lebanese politics. God bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
George's family will carry on his values as I know them well enough to assure you of their high quality.


I swear to God as you said……

‘ I will miss you greatly much!!!
All those memories of us together!!!
Please hear me when I will call your name on the Severn river doing kayaking to watch me fishing and crabbing. Thinking of you in spirit we still will have fun….. ‘

I will tell your grandkids you are great man and how much we had fun for sure!!!!

Condolences to the nice families.


Rest in peace! You will be missed by all of Liang family!!

We grieve and cry with you Atallah family. George keeps saying, " Heroes never die. " It is difficult for us to put into words the pain of loss. Uncle George was more than just an uncle to us. We will always love him, remember and thank him. 
God rest his soul. 
Elena and George Ammary.

You will be dearly missed by all! We love you cousin! 
From Raymond Taouil & Family - Australia 

To the Atallah family, please know that I am holding all of you in the Light.  It is difficult enough when a beloved family member dies, but on/around holidays can add despair to grief.  Hopeful that you will in time be able to focus on, and share treasured memories of your father/grandfather/husband.  Carole Pescatore

We are in shock to hear the sad news- may you rest in peace Uncle George. You were a beautiful, generous, kind, and loving soul... We are lucky to have met you and your beautiful family more than 15 years ago and we will always cherish the times we spent together.  
Your memory will always be with us and you and the whole family is in our prayers. 
The Haddads and Asmars

George was such a presence in this world. He will be surely missed by everyone who knew him. His cooking skills were unmatched as was his smile and laughter. He felt so blessed to have his grandchildren and family. Our hearts go out to Sandra and the kids. He was one of a kind, unique, and irreplaceable. We’re all touched by knowing him and will always remember him. 

Pat and George Bone

Our condolences  from  the Malleck Family,

Rest in Peace Kholo 🙏

Thankful for the beautiful memories I got to share and spend with you. Will forever treasure the time we got to spend together 🤍


"You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
A million times we will miss you.
A million times we will cry. 
If love alone could have saved you,
You would have never died. 
In life we loved you dearly.
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else can fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For a part of us went with you,
The day God called to take you home.
We will meet again someday I know in a better place.
I Thank God he made you our brother while you were here on earth"

I have such fond memories of George welcoming us home from college with a smile, hug, and plenty of Lebanese food. My thoughts are with you all. 

You will always be remembered no matter
what. Your presence, love and kindness will forever
be with us. Rest for now until we meet again.
