Dick Geissinger was one of those rare men that go quietly on their way, serving others without any desire to draw attention to himself. He had a knack that made you feel like you were the most important part of his day. His kindness and goodness live eternally. I want to be like more like Dick.
See you on the flip side my good buddy.
Jeri: I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounds like a wonderful man. My thoughts are with you.
