A graveside service will be held in Emanu-El Cemetery on March 4, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. Arrangements made by J. HENRY STUHR, INC., DOWNTOWN CHAPEL. Mr. Breibart was born in Charleston on January 31, 1917. He was the son of Sam Breibart and Ida Goldberg Breibart. He was a loving and attentive husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a graduate of Charleston High School. He served in the Army during World War II and was awarded a Bronze Star. Mr. Breibart worked for many years in his family grocery store on Meeting St. After retiring from the grocery business, he worked for Wholesale Industrial Electronics (WIE) on East Bay Street. Mr. Breibart was an early member of Synagogue Emanu-El, and he was a regular attendee of the daily Minyan Service. The family sincerely appreciates the many friendships that George developed through his "other family" at Emanu-El. He is survived by two sons: Barry Breibart (Flo) of Charleston and Richard Breibart (Simona) of Birmingham, AL. He had four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Mickey Sonenshine of Charleston; brothers, Jack Breibart of San Francisco and Sidney (Berniece) Breibart of Atlanta; and sister-in-law, Sarah (Solomon) Breibart of Charleston. The family would like to thank his devoted care givers that gave so much loving care to him and his late wife, who passed away in December. We would like to especially thank his very attentive nephew, Martin Lazarus, for all his assistance. Shiva will be Wednesday and Thursday at the family home at 1625 Carterett from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Synagogue Emanu-El, 5 Windsor Drive, Charleston, SC 29407.
