Craig Geary Obituary

GEARY Craig W. Geary, formerly of Marathon, passed away peacefully at his home in Redlands, FL on Oct. 11, 2016. He was 65. Born in Homestead, PA, Jan. 28, 1951, Mr. Geary is predeceased by his parents Roger and Peggy Geary. He is survived by his beloved wife and soulmate, Martha Maria Sicard whom he married on March 7, 2006, his brother Brian Geary of Pittsburg, PA, and many close friends in the Keys, Eugene, OR and Washington, D.C., among other places. Mr. Geary attended Thomas Jefferson High in Homestead, and earned his undergraduate and masters degrees in political science from the University of Oregon. He served one memorable tour in the U.S. Army in Viet Nam in 1971. Mr. Geary, who worked in Marathon at the City Fish House (now Fish Tales), called himself a simple "fishmonger," but he was an avid reader and political animal at heart. He ran for Marathon City Council in the 1990s and spent his last years contributing to the New York Times online website, winning accolades from his followers for his knowledgable and spot-on political commentary. He will be missed.
