I have such fond memories of Dr. Geha, during the many years that he practiced together with Dr. Stanley Lyle Goldman. Dr. Geha was special and I feel like the name at the stadium in KC, GEHA, should be after this fine and kind practitioner of medicine. Blessings to Dr. Geha and his Family!

Dr. Geha and my mother, Ruth Reed, worked at St. Joseph's Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit. He was also her primary care physician. She admired him greatly and trusted his judgement always. I will keep the family in my prayers for the the coming months ahead. You have my deepest sympathy.
