George was a prominent family law attorney, active community leader and philanthropist, mentor, scholar, world traveler, sports fanatic, husband, father, Opa and friend to all. In spite of all he accomplished and did for others, when asked what life was all about, he would answer with two words: family and faith. George was born in Brussels, Belgium on February 1.

In 1. 95. 4 he was the recipient of the Ralph Sheppard award for outstanding young leadership in the Nashville Jewish community. In 1. 95. 3, George began his long history and love of Jewish camping, working at the Jewish Community Center camp in Nashville, Camp Belle Aire, Camp Blue Star and Camp Judaea. It was at Camp Blue Star that George met Eva Prager, another German refugee, who became his wife on September 4, 1. George and Eva were happily married until November 1. Eva sadly passed away from ovarian cancer. While George spent his summers camping, he spent his post high school years at Vanderbilt University. He obtained his BA degree in 1. Juris Doctorate in 1. Vanderbilt Law School, where he received numerous honors. In 1. 96. 1 George became the Southern Director of Young Judaea and the Director of Camp Judaea which required he and Eva to move to Atlanta, GA.

In 2. 01. 2 George received The Jack P. Turner Award from the Family Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia for his outstanding contribution and achievement in the area of family law for the past 5. Most recently, the Georgia Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers created the George S. Stern Achievement Award and honored him to be the first recipient of the award that will recognize the recipient's accomplishments in the practice of family law and carry his name for years to come. While George had an incredible prowess as a family trial attorney, as evidenced by his numerous recognitions, he never recounted war stories or bragged about his accomplishments. What set him apart is all that he has done to improve the practice of law and to mentor young lawyers along the way through his teaching and compassion for the profession. Like everything else he did, he practiced law with his heart, wanting to accomplish the right outcome for all parties involved. In addition to his stellar career as an attorney, George was very active in the Jewish community ever since his high school years.

He laid Tefillin everyday since he became a Bar Mitzvah (no matter where in the world he was) and he was always observant of his Jewish traditions and beliefs (as exemplified by his passionate singing of prayers during religious services). Following his beloved Eva's passing, he was fortunate to find love again. George married Margie Okun on February 1. Perhaps his greatest gift was to pass his love of life and Judaism to his family. George will be missed dearly by his children Michelle and Gary Simon, Carla and Greg Malever and Jason and Karinne Stern; his grandchildren Aaron, Kyle and Michael Simon, Rebecca and Eric Malever, and Ty, Evie and Maya Stern; and by his wife Margie Stern; her children Jay Sausmer and Allison Sausmer Horrobin; and her grandchildren Daphne, Jacob and Adam Sausmer.
