Geoff will be missed.
I first met Geoff at National College of Chiropractic. He was initially an instructor and shortly after became a friend.
Many good memories of barbecues and also sailing with him and Diane on their Freedom sailboat on Lake Michigan off Navy Pier and enjoying the Chicago skyline.
My sympathies to Diane, the family and also the clinic staff.

I was so sad to read that Dr. Gerow had passed, and too soon. He was my chiropractor for many years, and fixed my back so well that I haven't had to return for a long time. He had such a variety of treatments that going to his office was like going to a spa. In addition to being a great chiropractor, he had such an outgoing personality! I had lots of fun conversations with him and Diane during treatments. He also gave a talk at my library. I hope D'Youville will name their school of chiropractic after him. He was incredibly accomplished and did so much good for so many people. My condolences to Diane, his family and his staff. He will be fondly remembered and in my prayers.
