I am sorry to learn of his passing. He was my college roommate at the University of Pittsburgh. We graduated together in1970. George was my best man at my wedding in May 1970. We stayed in contact briefly until I entered the Army during the Vietnam war. We never connected after my return. I always wanted to reach out to him but life always got in the way. I know he always talked about Sissy. I extend my heartfelt sorrow for his passing.
Love survives. Love lives on A tree is planted to honor the love.
I know George from his record sales. He always remembered my name and we talked music. His Garage sales were the only place I bought records in the last 5 years. I will miss his friendly hellos talking music. - DJ EZ Lou
Geo, you are SO loved, always.
With love Marion, Andrea & family.
We're thinking of you and your family as you celebrate George's remarkable life.
George will be missed. He and Larry Reed loved jazzed and enjoyed it together. He was a great neighbor and friend. Always smiling. Whenever he would see us he would have the most wonderful smile on his face.
Larry, Michael, Mia, Ian and Alicia Reed
With all our love and sympathy to Ruth and her Family.
George Bedeian was smart and funny, and I liked him from the time my friend Sissy chose him to marry. With Sissy he built a warm, strong, and loving family. I never got to see them enough, I live too far away. But I have always been in awe of his tremendous knowledge of jazz, and I saw him most often through that lens. From finding a record for him back in ‘78 in the San Francisco performing arts store where I worked – I was so pleased to find something he didn’t already have – ‘til last Saturday hearing a newly released old recording of Chet Baker, and thinking “Ha! New huh? I’ll bet George already has that!”
I never met anyone who knew more about jazz vinyl than George, and I never met anyone who was more enthusiastic about it. He readily shared his knowledge and love of jazz with friends and customers everywhere. There are people all over the world who will mourn and miss him. I am one of those.
With heartfelt condolences,
