Here's your script. Change the variables accordingly:

#************************Cut Here******************************
#!/bin/bash

group_file=/tmp/group
output_file=/tmp/group.out
name_file=/tmp/names

cat $name_file | while read name
do
  sed -e s/:$name// -e s/,$name// -e s/,$name,/,/ -e /$name/d
$group_file > $output_file
done

#*********************End Script******************************
