Another year and I still think about you and miss you! Love, Pat

Dear Smiley, It is difficult to believe that it has been seven years since you passed. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I still enjoy looking at your photos that you sent me of your St. Patrick Day celebrations, and other fun moments -- like your tribute to Joe the Plumber. I am so happy that we became friends. I miss your letters and the little surprises that you sometimes left at my door. Daffodils will always remind me of you. I miss your physical presence my dear...

mid-1970's when Tom introduced our class to the likes of...

So long Mr.Geiger, we always had a good conversation and a good laugh when we saw each other.You always said, "who has more fun than people" I will never forget that. Have fun in heaven and rest in peace my friend.
Oh, Charlie!!!

Mr Geiger was my teacher in high school. I also had the privilege of caring for him as a patient. I mean what I say when I say it was a privilege to care for him. He spoke great words of wisdom and never stopped praising his nieces! Condolences to the family~ luvnsun
