To Ann: I am truly sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. I will always remember the love you two shared and the happiness spread by your love. To all Geddes': thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know Ann and Dave. I will never forget the memories at the farm (how I had so much fun with the blue berries). I will cherish the memories and stories shared by all. May God be with you in your time of need. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love always, amy marie

I was the little sister and always wanted to do what Frank did, I finally at the age of ten was allowed to be with the ladies in the barn sorting and packing the blueberries. I soon became a regular and couldn't stay away from the Geddes farm. Working with Ann and Old Dave for many years I was blessed to be able to have tea with Ann and watch the ball games as well as listen to Old Dave's stories about my dad, or about the life of being a musician. Regardless of my absence over the past...

Dear Geddes Family,
I would like to offer my most heartfelt sympathy in your loss. Dave was a wonderful person, talented and loving.He was a very quiet man, but I could get a few words from him in the hallway of the Gilmanton School. I would often talk with him about his love of music and would catch him on the Community Channel playing his fiddle.
Mr. Geddes' death is a sad loss for you and for many others here at the Gilmanton School. We too will sorely miss him!

To all of Dave's family,
We have not been in contact in many years, but am so sorry to hear of your loss. Many years ago Dave and Dunkin work closely with my grandfather (Arthur (Bobby) Dowes and my father John E. Dowes, Sr.)in the logging business. Dave and his band also played at our wedding all most 30 years ago at the Loudon VFW Hall. We will always remember his great love off music. Our thoughts are with you all!
