George Stamatiades Obituary

George Stamatiades CHARLESTON - George Pericles Stamatiades, beloved husband of Anna P. Stamatiades, passed away peacefully on 2/18/24. Funeral services will be held Friday, February 23, 2024, at 11:00 am, Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Race Street, Charleston, SC 29403. The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service at the church. George was born on June 24, 1931, in Charleston, SC, to the late Pericles and Stavrini Stamatiades.

George passionately practiced retail pharmacy for over 50 years, including at his own independent pharmacy, Bay Drug Store. He was a member of AHEPA, Elks, SC Pharmaceutical Association as well as a devoted and lifelong member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. He was an incredibly kind, generous, loving, and gentle man who cared deeply about his family and friends. He will be dearly missed. George is survived by his wife, Anna, of 64 years; his daughter, Mia Stamatiades Macris; his son, George P. Stamatiades Jr. (Lawrie); and four beloved grandchildren, Perry and Sara Anna Stamatiades and Matthew and Stephen Macris. He was predeceased by his two brothers, Vassos P. Stamatiades and John P.

My condolences to Mr. Stamatiades's wife and family. I remember Dr. George, as we called him, quite well when he was the druggist at Bay Drugstore in Waylyn. I was quite young but our whole family receieved our prescriptions from him. I'll always remember the TV Tube tester that sat in front of the pharmacy counter and all the help he was whenever we needed anything. Many a fond memory of Dr. George and his brother. God Bless.
