Curtis Geer

To the Best Man at my wedding 62 years ago, Wendy and I can only say, RIP our dear friend!

To my oldest brother Curt, you lived a wonderful life. You and Kay were a match made in heaven. You knew how to live and love and make the most of life. Your sense of humor made you so much fun to be around. You set the example for the rest of us. You followed in Mom´s footsteps. You built a family that love one another, would do anything for one another, support and encourage one another. Thank you for a lifetime of fond memories. Thankful you are now at peace. I will miss you very much but I will see you again some day.
Your loving sister,
Annette

We'll miss you Coach. I had you at Azalea Jr. High and at Bogie! God bless you.

He was my gym coach when I was in 7th grade at azalea jr high school God Bless

Mr.Geer was such a wonderful principal during my years at Seminole. (87-90) I don´t think I ever saw him walk the hallways without smile on his face. His positive and supportive energy set the tone for the entire campus. Sending love and light to his family during this difficult time.

He was a great principal. I graduated in 1987. I remember him being at the top of the stairs in the student parking lot in the mornings. He always welcomed each & every student with kind words as they walked by him.

An extraordinary principal... from the 1989 and 1990 Seminole High School yearbooks.

Our deepest condolences to the Geer family and friends. Being close friends with Curtis´s granddaughter, Samantha Smith, and her family, it is apparent the legacy of Curtis´s kindness and love lives on. We pray for healing and peace.

Coach Geer was inducted into the Boca Ciega High School Hall of Fame in 1998, for his service as the boys basketball ball. He was a winning coach and well respected by the students and staff. RIP from members of the BCHS Hall of Fame. Noreen H. Hodges, class of 1959.

Dear kay and family. Curt will be missed by anyone that ever knew him. He was the smartest, kindest gentleman all rolled into one. Rest in peace my friend, free of pain.

Bill Killalea sharing- Mr.Geer was the best principal I ever worked under in my 38 years of teaching and coaching basketball. He took a chance in me in 1985 and gave me the opportunity to become a varsity basketball coach at Seminole HS. He was always supportive. I will always remember our talks at the front counter just about every morning about basketball, baseball or our baseball card collections. He loved the San Francisco Giants. Some days we would stand at the "T" and he would know every student by their first names as he walked by. The students and faculties that he directed will never forget him. RIP Mr.Geer. My condolences to Kay and the Geer family.

Mr Geer was one of the nicest people I've ever encountered in my life. He was always in a wonderful mood and knew how to cheer up everyone around him. He was such an amazing role model to all of us students at Seminole high School. He was always very interested in my baseball career and we chatted about sports in general all the time. He will be truly missed.

Kay and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Curt was my principal at SHS and was an outstanding leader. The students and staff loved him. He had such an outgoing personality, which made everyone feel special. His legacy of leadership and kindness will be forever remembered. I am praying for your family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Thanks for being an A+ uncle, Uncle Curt. You had an amazing ability of giving me a hard time and showing you cared at the same time! I try to be more like that every day. I will always treasure our conversations-whether we were diving into family trees or talking about Prince, you made every discussion fun and memorable. Your warmth, humor, and wisdom will stay with me always. You will be missed.
