Jerry Geile's Obituary
Jerry Geile, a US Navy Veteran, sailed into the sunset Sept. 7, 2018. “Bear” was a loving husband to his wife, Evelyn, with whom he shared a 58 year adventure which took them around the world. His children were near and dear to him: Mark (Leah), Michele (Art), Jill (Steve), Deanne (Jeff), Eric (Anne). He taught them how to ski, snorkel, play ball, sail and shoot. Grandpa “Bear” loved to tickle his grandchildren and bounce them on his knee. Thank you to Lynn and Fran – his caregivers. Our appreciation to the staff at Harbor Hospice Poppen Residence. In lieu of flowers, please consider the American Cancer Society or the Harbor Hospice Poppen Residence. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements by The Lee Chapel, 6291 S.
