Robert Geragi Obituary
Robert Geragi, 61, of Jupiter, was found murdered Tuesday morning in the 17000 block of Bee Line Highway, said Teri Barbera, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
Geragi, who formerly ran Fratelli Farms of Florida, Inc., was reported missing by his wife early Tuesday when he didn't return to his $822,750 house on Ocean Key Way.
Geragi had been out at the Square Grouper at 111 Love St. in Jupiter on Monday before he disappeared. His car was found in a public parking lot near the nightspot, the source said.
Geragi's injuries and the contents of his pockets indicated he was "executed" rather than robbed, the source said.
A CSX Railways worker found the body on the tracks about 7:13 a.m. Tuesday, Barbera said.
Investigators initially suspected Geragi had committed suicide, but an autopsy showed he was murdered, she said.
Among Geragi's recent business ventures was a failed investment in a deal to take over waterfront land leased by the Palm Beach Maritime Museum.
In a 2007 lawsuit, Geragi and Bernard Kirchner, owner of the Snuggery restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens, claimed they were tricked by museum founder John Grant, developer William Sands and disbarred attorney Joseph Duva, who once threatened a neighborhood association's members with bodily harm if they blocked the deal.
Geragi and Kirchner claimed the trio lured them into the deal by intentionally concealing obstacles blocking a proposed development.
The case was dismissed in June 2008.

Hi Amy, I haven't seen you in years mostly because of my health and this was not the way I ever wanted to hear about you and Mr. Geragi, I have always thought the world of him and after I met you I thought how good you were for one another, I am so devastated to hear about his death. He Did Not Deserve to go this way.I will be praying for you, be strong okay, that's what he would want you to do. Call me if you need to talk okay. I used to drive for him and you, that's how we met,he was the only one that ever tried to help me with my health problems after I told him about my car accident and why I was going to stop driving, he right away wanted to help me. He was a very generous and caring person and I know he's in heaven with the angels and Amy as he always used to say to me, now I say to you, Please if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me. May God be with you and your family through this very tough time, you're all in my prayers. You can reach me at 561-719-8001 for whatever I can help you with. Our deepest sympathies from all of us at A Personal Touch Limousine Service.

My deepest condolences for your tragic loss. My heart goes out to Amy.
May all the wonderful memories you shared together bring you some comfort now and in the days ahead. And most of all, may the peace of God, thru many prayers guard your heart and thoughts as you cope with what has happened. (Philippians 4:6,7)

With sympathy to the Geragi family. Though I don't know you personally, we all have something in common in losing a loved one in death. Take comfort in knowing that by means of His Word and spirt, God can and will comfort you during this most difficult time(2 Corinthians 1:3,4).

Dear Amy, Words could never express how sorry I am about Bob's death. I did not know Bob very well but I do know he was a loving friend to all he encountered and a loving and faithful husband to you. He once told me, "You were the joy of his life and there is nothing he would not do to make you happy." Always hold those words closest to your heart and mind. Bob is gone from this earth but never from your memory or God's care.
God knows what's in your heart and what you need before you ask. Even when you don't know for sure God knows because He knows you. He knows the outcome of every situation and He is guiding you even when you feel you have lost your way. He knows how much you can bear and He will give you strength and fill you with His grace and blessings as He walks with you every step of the way.
Amy, I did not forget the promise I made your mother, that I would always be there for you and that promise still stands today. I am here if you ever need me.
Your Godmother

Amy words can never express how sorry I am for your loss, Uncle Bob was a good man very giving and loving I'll never forget how generous he was to me, how he welcomed me into your home, and how he made us laugh. Remember God is always holding your hand and when he is not he is carrying you.
Hold on to your faith that we all grew up with.

Dear Bob,
The last few years have been tough but I always looked forward to us riding in the car together and having one of our long talks. You were more than a friend you were my brother. You meant more to me than you would ever know. You always called me "Champ" but you were the TRUE Champion. I love you Bob and I miss you!!! You have taken a part of my heart with you. I know I will see you again. Love, Champ

Amy-
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of "Pepper." Permit me to extend my condolences to you and your family and loved ones.
I only met Pepper two years ago, through our mutual association with our attorney Alan Espy. However, in that short time I came to realize why people were drawn to and loyal and committed in their friendship with Pepper. I enjoyed many memorable times with Pepper, Bobby, Alan and you.
We have our memories of happy times to sustain us in our grief.
Pepper will be missed.

Amy,
When I think of Bob the best way that I can think to describe him is bigger than life. And more than life he loved you. I came to love and care about Bob much more than I realized and regret that I never told him so.
I love you my baby sister and you can always lean on me. Let Bob's love give
you strength to go on as he would want you to.
With Much Love,
Your Sister,

Aunt Dot, Chucky, Ricky and Ronny, words can't explain how I feel. I'm terribly sorry this has happened. Bobby's generosity and charasmatic personality will be sorely missed. I truly loved being around him and am proud to have the honor of having him for a cousin. I still smile every time I think of my parents suprise 40th anniversary party and how hard he made us all laugh.
God Bless

Dear Amy,
I worked for the "Pepper man" at the Island. He was a wonderful boss. I was so sorry to hear that awful news.
Pepper always treated me well and I tried to do the best I could for him under an increasingly difficult situation. He always treated me with respect and he was so loyal to his friends. The world is not a better place today with his loss. My heart goes out to you and all his family and close friends.

I will always remember my Uncle Bob. Many would say because of his generosity but to me it goes much deeper than that. Uncle Bob was a very positive ,loving man that had an aura about him that made you feel good to be near him. He was always kind and I'm glad that my Aunt Amy had the opportunity to experience true love with such a great person.
I love you Uncle Bob. I will always remember the first time I met you. And I will never forget how much you mean to me, my family, and especially my Aunt Amy. A person like you is truly unforgetable.

My dearest Amy,
I am so saddened for your tremendous loss. He loved you so much and when I think of you and Bob you are the "true love story" and true soul mates forever. He adored you and you made him so happy. How lucky for you both that you found that - so few people do!
Bob was such an awesome guy who's presence you felt when he entered a room. When I think of Bob, I always think of generous. He was the most generous person I knew. He would help anyone who needed it especially his friends. Our kids loved coming trick or treating at Aunt Amy's and Uncle Bob's house because you always had the full size candy bars and Bob would slip them a twenty!! I always said that if anyone ever hurt our kids Bob would be right there next to Kim to protect them. He knew how important a child's innocence was and would always be a protector - as he was always yours as well!
Bob was a great example of the American dream. He worked hard and made it. Not only did he make it, he shared it with all. What a true mentor for so many and a man of his word.
We will miss his "Hey Jo and Doc", his great stories (that could go on :-), his smile - just all of him!
May all your happy memories together help you during what must be the hardest time in your life. Know that we are praying for you and Bob to be embraced with God's love.
We are here if you need anything. We love you.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Uncle Bob. He was and always will continue to be a generous man in my eyes. He loved my Aunt Amy very deeply and embraced my family as his own. Bob had a big heart and always extended a hand to others not because he felt obligated, or had to, but because he wanted to. Bob had a big personality but also a big heart to match; it is very upsetting that he was taken away so abruptly. You will be missed Bob and always remembered.

Uncle Bob and Amy:
I have always been thankful for all the wonderful moments we shared together. I have always believed that both of you were a blessing in my professional life. Ever since I worked for you I have been blessed with the most wonderful bosses. I remember being a little young girl (15 years old) and working in the flower shop and enjoying those days that Uncle Bob used to come and take us out to dinner, made us laugh and fulfilled our hearts with his fun and wonderful personality. Uncle Bob you were kind and generous…I will always remember you. Thanks for loving Amy so much, she is a wonderful woman, wife, and friend…I still remember how she used to laugh at all the things you would say, and then come and tell me all about it! I know you will be a guardian angel and will take care of her and KO at all times. You will be in our hearts forever and ever! Amy you know how much I loooove you both!
God is with us all the time
With lots of love,
Your little Jenny, your Honey Bun

Amy, my dear friend, I cannot find adequate words to express how sorry I am for your loss, but then again there would not be adequate words to describe the love that you and Bob share. I feel privileged to have been your friend for over a decade and to have seen a truly beautiful love story. Bob was a special man and you were blessed to have each other. I love you and will always be here for you.

Some of my fondest memories are the times that I have shared with the both of you. I cannot believe that I will not see my "bobbles" again, but know that he will always been in your heart, Amy. I will remember Bob as a giving man, strong, and a man who would help me and my kids in any way. He loved you Amy, SO MUCH..... as I know you loved him. His spirit will live on in the hearts of so many- I love you both. Whitney
