Barry Geisler Obituary

Barry Richard Geisler, 51, husband of Angela Marie (Sell) Geisler, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at his home in Douglassville. Born in Pottstown, he was the son of Richard and Patricia (Harp) Geisler. Barry was an accomplished attorney as the Divisional Senior Vice President and CUO at Great American Insurance Company, Environmental Division. He attended Bucknell University and went on to earn his Juris Doctorate at South Texas College of Law. Barry’s first love was football, excelling as a player through high school and college. Barry was a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan and he also enjoyed rooting for the Phillies and Flyers. In his spare time, Barry enjoyed camping with his family and friends as well as hunting and fishing, and most recently, renovating and creating his dream property. He was a man of few words, full of wit and wisdom, and when he spoke, you laughed or learned. More than anything, Barry was an amazing and selfless husband, father and friend. His children were his most important and treasured accomplishments. His loyalty to his friends was unmatched. He never wavered in his desire to ensure the happiness of others, especially his family, who were always his first priorty. Surviving along with his wife Angela of 19 years, are his children Alexa Geisler and Gabriel Geisler; parents Richard and Patricia Geisler; sister Pamela Carr, fiancé of Kevin Barndt; and nephew Jason Carr. A celebration of life will be held at a later date by the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice in Barry’s name.
