George Raab Schachter
February 20, 1954 – June 20, 2024
Resident of Bonita Springs, Florida
George Raab Schachter, 70, died on June 20, 2024 following a brief battle with cancer. He is survived by his sister, Amelia Schachter, Firestone, CO, and brothers Ben Schachter (Paula), Tucson, AZ and Josh Schachter (Trina Eggert), Sarasota, FL and nephew Anthony Mendoza . He is predeceased by his mother Doris Schachter, father Sylvan (Woody) Schachter, sister Judy Schachter and nephew Jesse Murphy.
George will be remembered for his wit and intelligence, his love of reading and enjoyment of nature. A favorite pastime was visiting the Bonita Springs Public Library where the reference librarians knew him by name. Most evenings he could be found at sunset at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
He lived life on his own terms, and preferred warm climates. Summers usually included a drive out west in his white Toyota pickup. He loved visiting friends in southern California and spending time in any desert. Years earlier, he spent many pleasant weeks and months in Big Pine Key, FL.
Born in Philadelphia, PA in 1954, George attended school in Haddonfield, NJ and graduated from Haddonfield Memorial High School. He also graduated from Philadelphia’s The Restaurant School. George’s career was spent in the food service industry, beginning at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, CA and La Costa Hotel & Spa in Carlsbad, CA. In Southwest Florida, he worked as a chef for the Audubon Country Club and Pelican Isle Yacht Club before moving into catering with Matthews & Gardner Caterers. Before retirement, he had a years-long loyal following as a private chef.
Funeral arrangements include a celebration of life at a later date.
