Kermit E. Geary

I was a radio engineer for many years. Knowing Kermit was one of my high points in my life. We talked on the phone many years ago now. It was about receiving distant stations. He did this in the 30s, 15 years before I was born in 1948. He had knowledge that was acquired with his scientific mind. I became a design engineer for Motorola Government Research. It was an honor to have known him. Young people have to look up to this level of a person. No A.I. could match this fellow. ...

I was in radio broadcasting for over 40 years, both on the air and in engineering. Occasionally we would get letters from radio listeners requesting a "QSL Card". Radio stations often would send out a post card verifying that the station was heard by a distant listener. One day I got a letter from Kermit Geary detailing his reception of 1360-WRSG.

What an interesting fellow...I worked at the Franklin Lab in Palmerton...

While I did not know Mr. Geary, Sr., through e-mail and pictures I have come to know Kermit, Jr. Children are usually the product of the parents. In which case, y'all have lost a good, care member of your family. Please accept my condolences.

Kermit, I am sorry for the loss of your father. Please take comfort knowing that he did experience a good long life.

If there is one thign I learned from your Dad, besides railroad information, it was to always be enthusiastic about life.Times may change, things may change, but that doesn't mean you have to give up. I'm grateful to have learned that from him. Know that your family is in our prayers.

Kermit, Sorry about your Dads passing. I'm glad I got to see him a couple of weeks ago. He will be missed. He had great stories.

To the Geary family:

My heart, thoughts ,and prayers go out to all of you. Fear not as his spirit has taken the Lehigh Valley Snow Birds To his mansion in the sky!

I never met Mr Geary personally. I did graduate from NHS with his son Kermit Jr. I was aware of the passion they both had for photography,and for trains.I didn't until later in life really appreciate that passion.

As a child I can remember watching the Lehigh Valley Railroad trains from the front...

Kermit, I'm so sorry about your Dad. I remember you from school. (I was about 2 years behind you).

Keep the good memories of your Dad, and remember that his soul lives on!
