Wade was born July 18, 1948, in St. Marys, son of the late Norbert Wade Geer and Cecilia
Auman Geer. He was a graduate of Elk County Christian High School, Class of 1966. Wade
joined the Marines at the age of 17 and served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He was awarded a
Purple Heart for injuries received in combat and was honorably discharged, having obtained the
rank of Corporal in the United States Marine Corps 2nd Battalion 5th Marine Regiment 1st
Provisional Rifle Company.
Wade attended Cornell University spending time in Ithaca, NY and Fort Lauderdale, FL. He worked for various NASE Motorsport corporations and was a former Crew Member at NASCAR. He was proud of his service in the Marine Corps, actively working with Agent Orange organizations. He was a talented artist and was always willing to share his knowledge and love of cars and racing.
Wade is survived by and will be dearly missed by his sisters: Cindy (Andy) Lasko of Chardon,
Ohio; Lorelie (Larry) Newell of St. Marys; and Meredith (Michael) Dailey of Cranberry Twp.;
nieces: Tara (Dan)Mitchell, Bethany (Andrew) Zipf, Mallory (Michael) Maher, Heidi (Mike)

Harper and Cameron Fern; aunts: Rose Geer, Doris Geer, Sylvia Sutka, and Angie Auman; and
by many, many cousins and friends.
As a good friend said "Wade was quite the character, he's been most everywhere, knew most
everyone and was more than willing to tell you all about it" ...... until we meet again Wade.

Having spent quite a bit of time with Wade for a period of time, I remember him fondly. Wade was a story teller, and he had a lot of them! He was a genuinely nice guy. I never saw him mad, he was always helpful. My condolences to his family.

I just met Wade this summer and had an interesting conversation with him. He had a way of making one feel you knew him for years. Thank you for your service to this great country Wade. RIP.

My sympathy to all the Geer family on their loss. I was very close to wade over the last eight years. We talked about politics, our life experiences, people we liked and disliked while we worked on cars and his favorite:"motocycles". I always looked forward to his annual trips to Ithaca. My wife always kept a "cold one or two" in our fridge for his visits.
We will surely miss him.
