George was someone ?who without overt intention influenced us all? Peter Lachman

Introduction

As many of you will now be aware, our dear Chaver George Subotzky passed away so sadly earlier week after a life sapping illness over the past few years. I spoke to him a few months ago and he said that his mind was as its sharpest ever, while his body was weakening steadily. I believe he had motor neuron disease. He was a Professor at UNISA, after many years as an education policy specialist in Cape Town, amongst his many other achievements and talents. He left an indelible mark and many great memories going way back to our early school years ? larger than life. MHDSRIP

Hi All,

Was very saddened to read the news of the passing of one of our class of 69, unfortunately I did not see George since matric, but thought of him often as our headboy?.I am always so proud of the achievements of our year.  I wish his family all Long Life.  Good Shabbos to all and lets keep up reunions and pray for all of us for much health and happiness for the forthcoming years.  Sandra Ellis.

Ilona Boolkin (Sandler)

I was deeply saddened to hear the news about George. It was only recently I had heard that he was so ill.  George and I had been neighbours for many years. We became quite friendly in our senior high school years , after his Dad passed away. We were in the same classes, did athletic training together , studied together and I was also one of the many girls who was drawn to his magnetism and charm.  George was exceptional ? way ahead of his time. He had a big impact on us all and It is hard to believe he is no longer with us.  I will always remember him with great fondness. My very deepest sympathy to his family at this very painful time in their lives. Warmest regards , Illona

I will miss George very much, he was the only person from our year that I kept in touch with, all be it with large gaps in time. I was his ?best man? when he married Eve in 1978

Ashley Davidoff

Dear Chaverim,

George and I were the best of friends in the grades.  He grew up on Meyer street ? 26 or 27 opposite Choni and less than 300-400 yards from our home on Athalie avenue opposite Gemmil park.  He lived in a modern home with huge glass window panes.  The house was filled with books and a grand piano that overlooked Meyer street through the glass windows.  His father, Ralph was a bit older than his mother Gitty.  I see his father so clearly in Georges picture that we have above ? balding, beautiful gray green eyes and full lips.  Ralph was extremely well read ? a self taught scholar I believe- and if I remember correctly was a marvelous chess player.  He died while we were all quite young ? almost the first death of my parents generation.  George?s mother Gitty was pure elegance as my mother used to say ? a ?real lady?.  She was beautiful ? dark haired usually with discrete red lipstick.  She  did not seem to particpate in the gossip or fashions of the day.  George had a sister Myrna I think, who was much older than we.  She was also beautiful and I remember attending her wedding which was in a nature reserve near a pond.  She inspired the venue of our wedding.  I never forgot the beautiful outside ceremony which was quite unusual location for the day.  Wolmaran?s shul was a popular venue at the time.  George?s brother Robert I remember for his spiritual sense.  I often observed him in Shul with his eyes closed attaining real connection and real heights of spirituality.

It is an odd memory but in the grades George and I used to pretend we were flying and would stretch our arms backward in wing formation and pretend we were jet planes or something.  Why I remember this I do not know.  Naomi my wife, says I must have been very happy ? and I think I was.  We played at each others homes often.  I remember going to his home erev shabbat and his mother would have his shul clothes out on his bed- a tie and white shirt.

I tell the following story often to my children and whomever else will listen.   In grade 2 I sat next to George during Mrs Goodman?s art class. As we faced the front, our desks were in front and to the right. The classroom was above the tennis courts and many of the chaverim on facebook were in that class.  Mrs Goodman asked us to draw a tree.  I looked at my drawing and George?s drawing and in an instant I knew I was no artist.  His tree looked like a beautiful tree ? mine like a few sticks attached awkwardly to a lifeless trunk.  At that time art was realism.  Other formats such as expressionism, surrealism, and cubism were in the realm of the intelligentsia.  I pursued other interests during my school years since art was just not my thing.  Of course George was multitalented . Whatever he touched turned to gold.  School art music friendships girls ? everything.  In 1984 after med school residency and fellowships ? I decided to backpack through Europe with the intent of seeing the art museums of Europe  ? I was so inspired that when I returned I attacked the canvas with a passion ? and realised that these expressive needs  lay dormant in me since grade 2 when I imposed restriction on myself that had lasted 30 years.  I am still no George at art .. but my artistic pursuits now bring me a huge sense of joy.  So the lesson I try and pass on is not to to look at others to define yourself as this or that .. but to keep on searching within ? and if there is something there that needs to be expressed ? find it and express it and get it out! (lessons from my own mother).  George did this all with aplomb and seemingly effortlessly.

George?s talents and maturing mind and body outstripped his peers and he sought inspiration I believe in people who could match him.  His taste for jazz for example was an adult taste ? almost like wine or broccoli ? you start to like and appreciate them when you are out of college.  He was dating and doing other things while we still were giggling at sex lectures.   His advanced maturity was obvious even in the early years of high school.

My memory is that he was deep into music when he left high school and I suspected that this was going to be his career path.  The void of news of what he was doing and what he had done remained until the 40th reunion when it surfaced that he had become an academic and was interested in models and strategies in higher education on the African continent.  He has an extensive curriculum vitae of publications and talks given all over the world, and I have posted links to some of his work at the end of this page.

My regret is that we could not reengage him once we were all grown up (though I still do not like wine nor broccoli).  Many of us tried to connect with him and for whatever reason we were unable to ? It is a loss for us all.  He was a genius of sorts  ? Whatever he touched he mastered.  Its great to read from the text accompanying his picture on the internet that he ?Wowed?  the crowd.  He must have found a groove for himself in his academic life.   I am hoping that we will be able to fill in the gaps of the post school years with the help of his family and friends.

It is a sad time I will always remember him,  Shabbat Shalom  Ashley

After reading some of the tributes I subsequently added this piece

These famous letters that George sent to his ?girls? have a mysterious quality ? Would love to get my eyes on just one of them? Would also dearly love to get my eyes on any one of his non academic creative writings ? or to hear him play cello ? just to get a glimpse of his brilliance. I feel like I missed out on a genius mind right in our backyard There are so few records or traces of this talented person Was it that he was humble? What was it that kept him away from most of us?

Clive Evian.

So sorry to hear about George.  I worked quite closely with George in Matric as we had a SRC which I was part of and he in his creative way led it ? it was a bit of a radical off shoot and I so enjoyed working with him and learning from him ? I remember him being so smart and intelligent and compassionate and thinking way ahead of his time.  I last saw him in matirc but often thought of him and was allways keen to meet up some day and share notes ? this is not to be unfortunately!!!   Motor N disease seems so much more common these days ? its a cruel condition!!!  Clive

Dear All,

I am very saddened by the news that George passed away this week.  I have not had much contact with members of our year until our recent wonderful reunion in Israel last month. There, we recollected about many people, including George. Strangely, after all this time, my school years at KDS and KDHS have remained an intact, preserved, almost untouched, private category of my life.  I remember George as though it were yesterday, sitting in a desk near me, passing me funny little notes or wise quotes, or sometimes just bending over to say something or scribble in my text books. I held in awe his superior intellect, his knowledge and curiosity, his philosophical pondering, together with a gentleness and kindness, and I interpreted these qualities as causing him to be bored with the school curricula. He was a really prominent and central figure in our year.  I stared at his more recent picture and I could trace out the good-looking, dashing, charming person we all knew then.  Eric, thank you for letting us know. Your concern for preserving our school experience is very special.  With my warmest regards and best to all,  Michelle

Bob Heilbrunn

Just opened the FB page to see the sad news ? George was ahead of his time. MHDSRIP.  I seem to remember a funny story that he used to have a special pot plant which his mum would diligently water & look after since it seemed quite unusual for a young teenager to be so interested in horticulture. Bob

Michelle Hellman (Leon)

I guess it took looking at the pictures and other tributes that has finally made me write something about George. Most of you have written your memories of him and they all ring true. The latest picture of him at the lectern is not one I can relate to. But I was one of George?s ?girls? on and off from Form 1 to matric and he certainly left his mark on me. Ash talks about his artistic ability at a really young age. I remember letters he wrote me at the end of Form 1 when I was at camp and thinking ?who writes like this?? He was brilliant, talented in so many fields ? a true Renaissance boy ? and as many have said, he sure had a way with girls. Many girls. Often at the same time much to our dismay! He definitely was ahead of his time in many respects. I left SA straight after school and saw him on odd occasions over the years. Once by chance at the Royal Albert Hall in London and the last time at my office where he was editing a survey on top schools. He chose not to retain ties with most of us but he was warm and friendly on both occasions and I will remember him more than fondly.  Michelle

Ronni Hellman (Kahn)

George was so clever and capable and always seemed destined for great things. Life is short and we must remember to live as if each day is the only one we have.

Harold Jankelowitz

So sorry to hear about George.MHDSRIP.

Peter Lachman

Many thanks for letting us know about George and his untimely passing

As I looked at the photos, they brought back memories of the good times we had at school with George ? and although I had not seen him for so long, these memories were awakened by your email

He was a remarkable leader at school and remained so ? long may his memory live

best wishes  Peter

I met Eric Stillerman at an unveiling for Colin Lawrence?s mother and he gave me the sad news about George. It?s hard to lose friends who are our age, one imagines a whole life ahead feeling ?forever young?.  Rhona Levitt

Sheryl Lopis (Frame)

Am devastated to hear of the passing of George Sabotsky though I understand he has been ill for some time- we all think we are invincible, and then we hear news like this which is a big wake up call! Sheryl

Lindsay Leveen

In thinking of how to pay tribute to George, I had a really hard time to articulate my memories of a guy who for all intents and purposes had totally rejected all of us from the class of 69. No doubt he was a very smart guy, an accomplished guy, and a complex guy. The tribute is not really about him. The tribute is about the collective us as he was our head boy and he was chosen by the powers that be that ruled the school to ?lead? us. Interestingly the Vice Head Boy has likewise chosen to reject us and this may well be because that neither of the boss? choices were really of the people, by the people, and for the people. Though George rejected us I pay tribute to him because I pay tribute to us.

Two score and three years ago our mothers and fathers were proud to see us matriculate. We were conceived in dark bedrooms and many born at the Florence Nightingale. We are now engaged in a virtual reunion testing whether we can long endure. Some have not endured and some have drifted away but many of us are still chaverim and it is altogether fitting that we continue to keep friendship alive. But in a larger sense we must consecrate and hallow the memory of the Head Boy who was chosen for us as he is the symbol of us.

And from his honored death we honor all of us and in devotion we say. Dear George May God Bless You and Keep You, May He Cause His Face Shine Upon You and Be Gracious to You, May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon You, and Give You Peace. Amen.

In case you have never read the Gettysburg Address here it is

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us?that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion?that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain?that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom?and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.  Lindsay

Terry Levenberg

I didn?t have many friends at school. And even though George and I had been in the same class the whole way through school from the age of 6, we never really connected. I have one distimct memory of him as a soccer player when we were still in primary school. It was a match against HA Jack and the ball was flying at speed high into the top of our net. I remember how in the most breathtaking way George leapt and headed the ball away. He always did have the capacity to stand tall amongst us.

Then his Dad died. For some reason, and despite my complete incapacity to deal with such terrible loss, or to show any real emotion, I reached out and touched him in sympathy from my desk behind his on the day he returned to school. It was the start of a friendship that was to last long past our school years.

Together, over a long hot Johannesburg summer as we were about to enter our last year, we sat together, smoked a bit of dope, and wrote an SRC Constitution. It was a fine document. Packed with legalese that sounded great to us in our slightly stoned state. It was a document that remained pretty much intact for years to come at the school and it remained equally incomprehensible for those who followed as it had been for me.

George had the most beautiful soulful eyes and I believed it was that which caused almost every girl to fall for him. This led to my secondary role in my relationship with him at school as a counsellor for broken hearts. For some reason, girls who would never consider me as a worthy option, felt compelled to spill their hearts over their latest tribulations in their attempt to garner his attention.

He grew up long before I did. I recall the reading of a DH Lawrence poem ?The snake? in Mrs Cohen?s class. We all had a perfectly literal understanding of the poem. Only George had the insight to recognise the sex so redolent in the poem. Mrs Cohen, caught unguarded, simply stammered a confession that he was right ? it is a moment that has remained with me always. A realisation that there was so much more to things than I had the capacity to recognise and understand.

George and I went through a period just after school with a friend named John van Nierop spending large amounts of time deeply immersed in the blues. Our first introduction was via the Keef Hartley Blues band. I remember the album well as it starts with John Mayall firing Keef from his band. We would spend long nights at Uni dives in jam sessions, smoking too many Texans and the odd joint. But as with all things he moved quickly and soon was listening to Miles Davis?s Bitches Brew and music that it took me 30 years to learn to appreciate.

I left SA at about this point as a career in accountancy for me held dreary prospects. A few years later on my return with wife in hand we entered a commune in Parktown and lived with George and his girlfriend Sue. My wife (at the time) Orit fell in love with him ? girls did. She was no exception. (She has just reminded me in a conversation of how Sue used to walk around the house with just a t-shirt on and her bum protruding. It was a lovely time to be a hippie but it didn?t last long.)

By now George was a cellist and with Colin Shapiro he had written a full scale rock opera (I wonder often whether it has survived in any form).

I worked in a factory then, was generally exhausted and hungry because we were, as you would expect from a commune of hippies committed to eating brown rice and little else. I had to supplement with meat pies from the Greek cafe next door the factory in Germiston. Like everything he did, George was intense about the cello and he would spend hours and hours practising and became more and more obsessive and withdrawn. It drove me nuts.

We drifted apart. Years later we met up. George by now had another lovely Sue as his wife. He was teaching at a Waldorf school in CT with David Garb I think. He was then, as he always had been a deep and intense man.

As I write this I can feel the piercing quality of his eyes. He was never an easy person to get close to, but for a short while he was a friend. He spirit burns deeply for me now and will always.

Jeff Miller

Hi all,  I have really good memories of George?s musical talents.

I schlepped my Hammond organ to school a few times and was amazed at the way George could make the instrument talk.
He made it look so effortless and the sounds were great.

Wishing his family a long life.  Regards   Jeff

Jack Milner

Sad to hear the news. I had not seen him since our school days and then suddenly met him queuing to board a flight to Atlanta in 2001. We were remarkably both on our way to Richmond, Virginia ? he for a conference and I to visit my brother.

Elaine Myers

I can not tell you how sad I was to get your email this morning and to hear of George?s passing away. I spend a little bit of time with him in the year after our matric and of course have all the memories from Form 4 and 5, we also had a brilliant holiday together in the Cape Town. So I have many fond memories, and many interesting memories, to say the least !

I met up with him very briefly for coffee about 6 or more years ago but that is the only contact I had with him since then, and so I am shocked to know that he was so ill. I certainly thought about George a lot even after so many years. He definitely was someone unbelievably bright and with a very different way of thinking. Somewhere I had some really beautiful poems he wrote to me and I could never believe that someone of our age (then) could write like that.

I spoke to Michelle this morning and when I told her I had found this picture, she said she was sure that is how we all remembered George from school, and I am sure that is so.

I wish Robert and George?s family long life and hope that George is now at rest after his terrible illness  Elaine (Myers)

So sad to hear about George?.I have many warm memories?one was sitting on the grass listening to Simon and Garfunkel ?with him and some others?I really loved him when we were at school?not girlfriend kind of love but just loved who he was?. I love the idea of cremation?.in Crestone they have the only open pyre in the U S A?.I went to a funeral there which was just beautiful ? I imagined my funeral with The Beatles singing me out into the next phase of life?.and wondered how my kids would react to such a funeral?.I would love that?not sure they would?

Robert Pozniak

George and I were not only school buddies but also close neighbours. We shared a similar intellectual world view and belonged to the same hippyish genre.

We ultimately went our separate ways but I still from time to time asked relevant people as to his whereabouts. About a year ago I saw his brother Robert and was able to get George?s cell phone. I called and left a message but he never called back. I never knew he was so ill and I am deeply saddened by his passing. I wish Robert and the whole Subotsky family long life.   Robert Pozniak and Family

Dear Eric and the rest of the class of 69

I was immensely saddened to hear of the passing of George Subotzky.  I do not believe that I ever saw him after leaving school but I retain very vivid memories of him as he was a strong character at school.  I am travelling in Europe at the moment but will get out my old photos when I return to Sydney.I look forward to sharing memories and tributes with the rest of the class.

Hilton Rosenthal

So sorry to hear about George. Reminds us to make the best of what we have while we can.

Stanley Seeff

Hi All,

It?s very sad when one hears of the passing of one of our schoolmates, and in fact should be a wakeup call that we should be thankful for all that we have as time is getting shorter.  I too haven?t had any contact with George since school, and as much as we always tried to include him in reunions or mailings I don?t recall him ever contacting us. I wish his family long life and I trust that George who I believe was so ill is finally at rest.  Shabbat Shalom to all of you, Stan

Sam Sharp

Although I grew up a few houses from George in Meyer Street Linksfield, we were never close friends but he was always cordial towards me. I remember spending only one afternoon together, at some point during early primary school. He took me around his garden showing me flowers when all I wanted to do was kick a ball around. Interestingly this relates to what Bobby wrote about horticulture. I always felt he was several years older than the rest of us. Perhaps it was due to the intellectual environment in which he was raised, perhaps because, unlike anyone else I can think of in our street and cohort, he was the youngest child, and by quite a long way. My clearest picture is of George in matric where I recall a sort of brooding brilliance. He seemed withdrawn and even a bit subversive in a way I could not explain then and can?t now. I never did see him again and am saddened not just by the passing of a KDS co-student and ex-neighbour, but by the fact that he had to endure this monstrous disease.  Sam

Sara-lea Small

How amazing to think that George has moved on. He was at the Waldorf School when I was there. He was really passionate about his Choir at one point and on two memorable occasions we sang at the Cathedral in Cape Town. One was the Gloria by Vivaldi, I think. They were unforgettable achievements and he was so proud. Thanks for letting us know. Sara-lea

Dear Chavers of the Class of 69

As many of you will now be aware, our dear Chaver George Subotzky passed away so sadly earlier week after a life sapping illness over the past few years. I spoke to him a few months ago and he said that his mind was as its sharpest ever, while his body was weakening steadily. I believe he had muscular neuron disease. He was a Professor at UNISA, after many years as an education policy specialist in Cape Town, amongst his many other achievements and talents. He left an indelible mark and many great memories going way back to our early school years ? larger than life. MHDSRIP

So very sorry to read this sad news and to think of the tragic suffering that George would have had to endure.  He sat in the row next to me in Form 5 and I remember what a smart guy he was.  May he remain vibrant in our memories.  Best wishes to you all.  Arlene Schwartz nee Tanchum (Tanchie).

Edward Webster

This is very sad news. I remember George very clearly ? as does my wife Luli (Zampetakis) ? as a student at KDHS in the late sixties . He was a good history student and writer . Indeed he particpated in the Socrates Club that we established and which met in the evenings at Luli?s house in Klip Street , Obsrevatory. The motto of the society was, tongue in cheek , ?Better to be a discontented Socrates than a contented pig? !! George went on to play an important role in developing educational policy in post-apartheid South Africa. I remember sharing a platform with him at a worskhop on the new Sector Education and Traning Authroity ( SETA). He was highly respected and successfully translated his early idealism into innovative and practical policies in his later life.

I would like to express my condolences to his family and my deep sadness at this loss of a great alumni of King David High School.
