George Leader Obituary

LEADER, George. The Mount Sinai Medical Center family pays tribute to George Leader, a dedicated supporter of our hospital. Mr. Leader and his wife, Diana, are Members in the Society of Mount Sinai, our Foundation's most time-honored fundraising organization. This legacy of giving has continued with his daughter, Robin Leader-Landau, who is a member of the Founders of Mount Sinai. All of us at Mount Sinai extend our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Leader's wife, Diana, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends. He leaves a legacy of helping others through his kindness and generosity, and he will always have a special place in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

There is not an Aqua class that i attend that i dont look at Georges spot and think about how wonderful he was. I loved when we were together before the class. De was always on his mind. He had a mission to keep her healthy. Rest in peace my dear friend.

No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing God is with you and your family lean on him in your time of need & remember,

My condolences to the family on such a great loss. I am happy I had the pleasure of hearing these stories from George himself. What an amazing life. You will be sorely missed.

I met George on a date with Larry 40 years ago. I was taking too long to order and he asked why, I told him I was trying to figure out which was less, the platter or a la carte? He told Larry , “This this one is a keeper”! It was important to get George’s approval. He had deep admiration and respect from everyone for wise decisions and thoughtful analysis.
I will miss his big smile, happy blue eyes and gravelly voice. I will miss his love of his Dolphins, his family and all his colorful stories. He was just fun and a generous good guy always.
