Condolences
The family of William “Bill” Geisser has received the following condolences.
Elaine,
i am so sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I remember him fondly at coffee at Barnes & Nobel. He certainly brightened our day with some sort of humor! Most of all, I recall what a fun relationship you had~ sometimes laughing & sometime giving each other a hard time! Most of all my memories are of you & he loving each other through all of life’s adventures that you would recount during our talks at work. I’m in the Byron area if you would like to connect.
Dear Elaine + family, We are so very sorry for your loss. We think about you often + if you go back to Waterville, we will see you there, Elaine. What a brave, dear man, determined to beat his illness. Always had a smile on his face. We will fly to Rochester 5/7 late afternoon...no driving the long distance anymore. If you are still in Rochester after that date, please let me know. Hugs, Jane and Larry Robertson
Elaine and family, my deepest sympathies to you all. I too am trying to get through the death of my husband. I truly know what you are going through. Turn to our Lord, Jesus Christ, he will get you through this.

I am a friend of Joel and I just want to express my sincere condolences. I know how hard it is to lose a Dad. Joel was there when I lost mine. It was a comfort and I really appreciated his support. I am sending thoughts and prayers to all his friends and family.
My wifes family lives in North Port Florida, so I am familiar with the area.
Rest in peace..
Mitch
