My and my sister Bernice's condolences to you Doug and your entire family on the loss of your vital father. You are extremely fortunate to have had such a strong and warm role model. Your memories and his legacy will sustain and give you strength. Love Harvey Diamond and Bernice Finkelstein

This touches my heart. As I child Hana's Suitcase was the first Holocaust book I had read, it deeply affected me as I looked very similar to Hana with blonde hair, and our names were spelled exactly the same. When George came to my town to do a book tour my mother had taken me to meet him. George was the first Holocaust survivor I had met. He made an impact on my life. I will always remember meeting him and having his sister name Hana. I send my condolences. Hana Price

To the entire Brady family you will be receiving literally hundreds and hundreds of condolence expressions, sometimes from people whom you do not know personally, but whom your precious father touched so deeply with his story, Hanna and her suitcase. I consider myself so privileged to have met him a few years ago when he spoke after the film, and I was with my adult daughter, son in law and my teenage grandson and granddaughter. Your father was a powerhouse and he touched everyone at the theatre that night. There was nobody with dry eyes that evening. The entire Jewish committee is poorer now but his legacy lives in on his family, as does the remarkable story Hanna and her suitcase. I wish all of you much strength in the times ahead, and hope that you will hold tight to your hearts the beautiful, warm and treasured memories that belong to you forever. Ruthie Zaionz

Doug, Please accept our condolences.. from our family to yours for the loss of your Dad! Your Dad and ours was from generation like no other! And we appreciate the pride you and he shared in your work together. We're sad for your loss. Jordan Glick, and Maralyn Glick

Please accept my heartfelt condolences from someone you don't know, but who had the privilege of meeting George a few times and has followed the story of Hanna's suitcase from the beginning, using it to educate my kids through the play here in Toronto and various forms of the book written over the years. The eulogies were heartwarming and inspiring-what an amazing man your father was...the way he lived his life so positively despite what he went through and how he helped so many people; this will forever be a lesson to me and so many others. The legacy he leaves to his large, incredible family is huge. May all the stories some so very funny! and memories help you through this difficult time and keep you laughing! May you only have simchas...

We are all going to miss you George! Please accept our deepest and heartfelt condolences to Teresa and the Brady family. My father, Rudy, always talked about George with respect, recalling memories and how George helped him when he came to Canada and continued his work in the community. I have great fondness for George from the occasions I met him; especially the last time, when he shared some of his life story personally with my then young daughter, Alex. With our deepest sympathy, we are very sad about George passing. From, Hana Kalas, Rudy Kalas and family.

Rest in peace George ... I will miss seeing you in the Brady office when you'd visit now and then. To Doug, David, Lara and everyone else, my condolences.

My sincere condolences to the Brady Family. As the daughter of another Holocaust survivor, the book, “Hana's Suitcase,” had great meaning for me. May his memory be a blessing.

Such a great loss. We were honoured to have had George Brady speak with our boys on so many occasions, sharing his wisdom and life experiences. You will be missed by so many.

My sincere condolences on George’s passing. A kind hearted, brilliant man who in the face of devastation rose above it all and built an amazing legacy. I am grateful to have had the privilege of meeting him.

It was a misty, rainy cool day in early April 16 years ago, when I reluctantly set out to walk my beloved Cocker Spaniel, Kairos in the Sherwood Park ravine. As I approached the Blythwood hill, a dog ran down to greet Kairos and I. There was no owner in site so I waited. That turned out to be one of the most significant decisions I unknowingly made in my life. George was soon to follow, jogging down a steep hill! This man seemed larger than life itself and so kind spirited. There was no small talk as the conversation led to discussion of my recent trip to Argentina to meet cousins my family never knew existed until notified by the Holocaust Museum in Washington. George had just learned about Hana's suitcase a year or so earlier and he and Lara had just begun their journey. My mother was the same age as Hana and survived the Holocaust with her family thanks to a righteous Polish family that hid them. I had just returned from Poland where I stayed visited with them. My mother was struggling with the thought of a trip back. George came to visit to her and my mother decided to return to Poland. I believe the visit was good for him too as he stared into the face of a woman that Hana might have become. I remember George's 80th birthday party as an event filled with the love and admiration of hundreds of sincere fans. He touched the hearts of so many. I told many friends of my chance encounter with George that day in the ravine and always referred to him as 'My Angel. Thank you George for the impact you had on my life and will have on my two young daughters as they begin to learn the story of their grandmother and George and Hana. Perhaps I will read it with my ten year old tonight.

I met George through my late partner Barrie Rose. I knew the story of Hana's suitcase and his work with the Tokyo Holocaust Centre and hope this work will continue.

I read Hannah’s suitcase in school and i am very sad 😢 that Hannah died but I am happy that George lived😎 I hope he had a better life and I’ am inspired by him and am very proud of him😊

Dear Teresa, Lara, and the rest of the Brady family: I was so sad to hear of George's passing. Of all the people I met during my time working at Weizmann Canada, George was one of those people who always had a smile on his face, always had an interesting story to tell, and of course, always loved sharing with such pride his memories of Hana and her suitcase and the adventures he had sharing her story with the world. He also so warmly expressed the love he had for her and for the rest of his family - those he lost in the Holocaust and those he held so dear to him here in Toronto. It was a pleasure to know him and to be invited to many of George's events and his special birthday celebrations. I know I speak for so many when I say how much he will be missed. Thinking of all of you and sending my deepest condolences.

To the Brady family: As a customer of Brady and Seidner Assoc. Ltd. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. George sounds like a remarkable man and I'm sure he will be greatly missed. My condolences to your family.

Dear Brady Family, I have very fond memories of George. I worked at Brady & Seidner from 1981 to 1987. I was always treated with kindness and respect. Both George & Joe were filled with love and generosity when I married and later had my first son. I was so honoured when George gave me a copy of Hana's Suitcase. Sending my deepest heartfelt condolences. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was privilaged to know George and fumiko through their visit to my classroom along with George held my student's interest, concern and respect leaving a mark that only experience can impress.

Dear Brady Family, I have had the privilege of knowing George since I was a child. He hired my mother to work at Brady and Seidner when she also a Holocaust survivor first arrived in Canada. I knew his incredible history and had the opportunity to talk to him many times and interview him. His positive spirit, incredible strength, dignity, and honesty will stay with me forever. I know he will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am very sorry to hear about George's death. He was an excellent example of someone who had an unending zest for life. Condolences to the whole Brady Family.

Dear Lara and family, I had the privilege to first meet George 19 years ago when I first heard his story and that of his sister's. Since then it has been a pleasure to see George on a regular basis at the various Neuberger Holocaust Center programs. He was an inspiration to me and to so many others. May his name be for a blessing, always.

To the Brady Family, The story of you father and his sister has meant a great deal to me from an early age, and I continue to be inspired by his optimism and commitment to spread both knowledge and hope. May his memory be a blessing and may your family be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion.

We remember the first time that we met George, at The Royal Alex when we shared his candy.. We shared many other things over the years. He has left everyone who ever crossed his path a lot better for having known him.

Dear Brady Family, I am away for the winter and just noticed that our precious George had passed away. I feel so blessed to have met him and his magical sidekick Lara. He brought an extraordinary story into the lives of all of us working on Holocaust memoir and education and between him, Lara and Fumiko, a new and profound story entered the minds and imaginations of hundreds of thousands of children. His approach to invigorating, uncovering and restoring this story to the world's important bank of memoirs, was a lesson in dignity, endurance and deep sorrow. He was a gift to us all. I think of you all at this time, and pray that you are granted comfort by all the sweet and enriching memories that our dear George leaves behind.

I knew George through his friends, Howard and Susan Roher, and, as a high school teacher, invited him twice to come and speak at my school. On his second visit he brought Hana. After his visit the students, who were deeply affected, wrote notes to George. He was generous and honest and patient in answering the kids' questions, even in the midst of the losses we, who had read the book, were focusing on. What a lovely, generous, positive human being. I'm so sorry for your loss. Jill Solnicki

My deepest condolences to the Brady family. I met George in 2006 when I brought him, Karen and Fumiko into my school, Forest Hill. To say he had impact on the entire school community would be a gross understatement. Throughout the years, he was a quiet friend. I appreciated that my son had an opportunity to meet him, too. I am so very sorry to learn of this loss, and I take comfort with you in the idea that he’s with his family that were tragically taken from him to soon. May his memory forever be a blessing.

It is with great fondness I recall my time spent with George. From my initial trip to his cottage playing Risk with his sons, to numerous conversations at my parents house, George always made me feel my contributions to conversations were meaningful. His tireless campaign to keep the memory of his sister, Hannah, and other victims of the Holocaust alive are what many will remember him for, but to me, he was a family friend and will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to his entire family and may the many incredible memories offer comfort to you.

My deepest condolences to the Brady family. George was my hero. I will continue to spread his story and light a candle for him. You are all very much in my thoughts.
