I think about you, remember you fondly, and still cannot believe your're really gone, my friend. My heart goes out to Louise and your children and grandchildren. What a huge void your passing left in this world. Your love, your wit, and your beautiful soul will never be forgotten.

I love you, Lou, and I know you loved me. You were a wonderful teacher and the best friend I could have had as a teenager from a violent, broken home who was on her own by age 15. You made me believe in myself, saved my life, nurtured my mind, and healed my heart, which you held safely in your hands until you died. Thank you. You were my bridge over troubled waters, and the most dedicated husband and father I could ever imagine. I know you are in a good place because my heart is there with you. "Your time has come to fly. All your dreams are on their way." My heart goes out to Louise and your children. You were a hard man to lose.

To the family of Mr. Geczy - I am so sorry and sad that your have lost your wonderful husband, Dad and Granddad. I remember him well from PHS (1973). He was a great teacher and human being. He was the cool teacher that was admired by all of his students. Please accept my most sincere condolences. RIP Mr. Geczy.
