I was honored to share family celebrations with Jerry and Susan these past twenty-seven years. The most recent were our Easter's at Barn on the Brazos. If Jerry was not there, we did not have near as much fun. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES AND YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Our tour in Hawaii was a great tour of duty with the Marines. The highlight of that tour was the people we met. Jerry was one of those people. It was a true pleasure knowing and working with Jerry. He was the consummate professional who would work long hours to correct a problem or search for the solution to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again. He was a person that everyone wanted on ‘their team.’ But it went beyond that, Jerry was a great human being. He would do anything for anyone. We were fortunate to live on the same street as Jerry and his family. Our young daughter would affectionately call Jerry “Flipper” whenever she would see him. We all would call him Flipper, not only because that was his nickname, but because he would beam with a smile whenever you called him Flipper. He was liked by everyone. There were several times he kept me out of trouble and conversely, when I kept him out of trouble. He was a true friend, a friend to our entire family. May God bless Scott and his entire family with his peace and comfort during this time of bereavement. Know that Jerry is in a better place without pain. It takes a long time to get used to the loss of someone we love, but it’s important to remember that when people die, they leave something very special behind – They leave us memories of many things they said and did. Let us cherish those memories forever. And as long as we have those memories, the people we love will live on in our hearts and minds. For Scott, nothing can ever replace the wisdom, advice, and love of a good father. May you find comfort in remembering all the guidance, strength and love with which your father touched your life. Those precious gifts and memories will always live on with you. May you find comfort in lasting memories and hope in brighter tomorrows. Fred & Jean Geier
