I feel fortunate and honored to have known Bob and serve our Lord Jesus with him as Lay Minister at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Bob was caring, cheerful, and always had a big smile. My Prayers go out to Jan, Meghan, Kayla, and Luc as they morn the loss of a loving husband and father. We can never understand why the Lord has taking Bob so early but can be comforted in knowing that he is no longer in pain as he rests eternally with Jesus in Heaven.

Bob….we will miss you on earth but know through Christ Jesus that we will be united again some day!

Our sorrow at losing a friend and fellow Lay Minister is consoled by the knowledge that our dear brother in Christ, Bob Geier, enjoys a blessed, peace-filled reunion with all of the saints who have gone to Heaven before him. Bob was a good and gentle man, who treasured and spoke often of his loving wife, Jan, and his beloved children, Meghan, Kayla and Luc. Regarding his church responsibilities, Bob was quick to help and executed faithfully, and our Good Shepherd congregation was truly blessed by his friendly and affirming personality. All of the Lay Ministers and I will miss standing side by side with Bob, in doing the Lord's work. We pray that the Holy Spirit & Jesus' Love will comfort all of his family and friends.
