Dear Dickey Geer family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Cousin Dickey.
I remember my parents telling us stories about Uncle Clarence and Aunt Elsie and their family, and how sweet Dickey was. I remember when they first moved to Florida, I never heard him lift his voice in anger or get unpleasant. He was always smiling. Though I didn't get to see alot of him or his family growing up, I will always be thankful for a Sunday visit a couple of years ago, that Dick-Cathy-Bob-Shirley came to visit my family in Ocala. It was really nice to see them all.
God Bless,He will be missed. Love, Kathy Geer Cook and family

To the family of Richard M. Geer May your husband, father and grandfather go in peace . He and I were pretty close, I remember that we used to go to the drive-in-movies in his old Chevy during the fifties and he would shine a spotlight on the screen. Time and miles have separated us over the years but I will always remember my cousin Dick, the fun we made together, and our great friendship. God be with you all. I will light a candle.
