As everyone knows, Mister Geraghty was an amazing man. When I met him, I immediately felt a sense of genuine sincerity and I quickly realized that I could trust him as I would my own father. May God bless him and all of the Geraghty family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Marita, Ann and family. I was so sorry to hear of your loss. It is solace to remember his long, good life. He leaves a family with wonderful memories. Judy Fox

My deepest sympathy Ann to you and your family. I guess he is the last of our little group at Palm Court to join the others in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Jim and I grew up in St. Angela Parish on Massasoit Ave. and renewed our friendship in Glen Ellyn with his wife Ann and family with many good memories shared. My condolences and prayers to the entire family. Jim will be missed by many friends and neighbors.

I learned that recently a grand guy has left our planet. A special person and an honorable one. Accidently on the golf course, we learned that each of us had a connection. Our parents, his and mine were Irish Immigrants from County Mayo. We often talked about the influence our parents had over us and taught us to respect others. I will always cherish his memory. May his soul rest in peace.

Jim was a great friend and advocate for our family. Always a joy to be with Bob Smith

To Aunt Ann and my Cousins, My heart felt condolences on your tremendous loss. Uncle Jim is a favorite and a light of joy and laughter! May this line from an Irish prayer bring some small comfort: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." Peace of Christ, Nephew/Cousin Joe Kohley

Our sympathy and special prayers for Jim and all his family and friends.
