Not sure what to say?

we are so sorry that we couldn't be with you. we know that he was a wonderful man. know that we celebrate his life right along with you. our prayers and love are sent to you.

So sorry to hear of your loss, your Mother and Father were wonderful people. We had lots of fun times playing when we were youngsters. Our deepest sympathy.

I remember Mr Gieseler from Frost in the early 60's How did he ever put up with all the commotion and noise! He was always the rock of calm. So sorry for your loss.

I remember him from frost way back when, he was a kind man

Larry Gieseler was a good man! He was principal when I was a student at Frost in the 1950's. My dad, Bart Kressler, worked with Mr. Gieseler at Frost for many years...they were good friends and poker buddies. My wife Anne and I extend our sympathy to his family an especially to Jan his daughter.

Once in a while I got to visit that handmade house with my big sister (thanks, Jan) and remember feeling cozy and welcomed! Very best wishes to all who have so much to cherish from memories and his legacy to live.

sadly suprised to hear of mr. g"s passing .i too attended frost the same class as jim q .it was a fun time with great leadership in our lives .

"Miss Gieseler," you were the "coolest" teacher at Post Oak. Your last name jumped off the page of the newspaper this morning. That speaks volumes for the lasting impact you had on the students of Post Oak Elementary. I suspect your dad was exactly the same kind of person. You remain in the hearts and thoughts of many.

To the Gieseler family, I am sorry for your loss. I attended Frost in the early 60's and Mr. Gieseler was the pricipal along with Mr. Lebutt. Those years were some of my best memories. After reading your father's obit. I did not think about him doing anything but being our principal. How we think when young. Sounds like he was a great husband, grfather, and a great man. May God Bless your family. Jim Quillen
