Sonny's pizza! Yeah I loved visiting because he would always want pizza. Scuba diving at Lake George. The fumes at Ford. Laughter. Always full of laughter.

It's been some time since I've written a note to you, although not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I still cry at the thought that you're not here. Sometimes I still don't believe it. Time does not make things any easier. It just reminds me how much you are missing and how much you are missed. I love you and miss you ♥♥

Don, it's been a while since I wrote, but it's still very hard. I am trying to go on with life, it's what you would have wanted, but you are always there, always in my thoughts. You are always around me. I still miss you so much and will never get over losing you. You will always be in my heart. I miss you.

Carol posted a condolence

Today is not an easy day for me. I miss you so much. A part of my heart was taken the day you left. You were my first love, my best friend, and the best husband and dad that anyone could ever have. I loved you with all of my heart, and now I have to go on without you. I know the meaning of love, with the memories of you. Although we are apart our journey never ends, it continues on with love uniting us, until we meet again. I love you Don, and I always will

September 18, 2010 And of course I'll be waiting all day long, for a song always sung, but will never come. It breaks my heart that after all these years, with no "Daddy's Serenade", it brings me to tears. I'll miss you most on this day full of cheer, but Thank You, Thank You, for all of those years. I Love you and miss you Daddy.

There are so many wonderful memories we shared with our grandpa. (We called him "Poppy" for no apparent reason). He made one yummy pizza! There are so many reasons we will always miss you, but you will stay in our hearts forever.

Don and I were classmates from elementary school through high school and his death saddened me so very much. The Sloatsburg bond is strong and we rejoiced in each others' successes. Don had many, and will be missed. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

James & Carolyn Knesel posted a condolence

I went to Sloatsburg Elementary School with Don. And my husband and I were both in the Suffern High Class of 1959 with him. It has been many years since we saw him last at our 27th class reunion, but our admiration and fondness for Don Geddes has not been dimmed by the time and distance that has long separated us. We are deeply saddened to hear of Don’s passing from this Earth, but we know we will see him again. Our sympathy goes out over the miles to the Geddes Family and Friends who loved and cherished him every day - may God console your hearts. Carolyn Schmarge Knesel James E. Knesel Fredericksburg VA

Dear Carol and Family, I fondly remember you and Don opening your home on Eagle Valley Road for our class reunion in April 1986. You both were so welcoming and gracious to all of us. Don was one of the nicest guys and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Rosemary Frisby

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of our dear friend, Don. We had been friends for more than sixty years. He was a man of many interests and excelled at several. He was soft spoken and always a gentleman. He had great love for his family and community. He served on the Village Board from 1985-1987. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. Carol and family you are in our thoughts and prayers. May your treasured memories help to sustain you in the days ahead.

For all of the reasons in the world, I didn't want to write this. But for all of the same reasons, I did. You've given me everything I've every asked for. However, it's the things that I didn't ask for, the qualities in you, that I appreciate and cherish the most. You gave me Compassion and Caring for those we love around us. You gave me Appreciation for the little things in life. You gave me Honesty when I needed it the most. You gave me Friendship,& with that Friendship, we gave each other Laughter. You gave me Love, and I gave Love back. And when you couldn't give anymore, I gave you Peace. Daddy...I Miss you with all of my Loving, but broken Heart. Jennifer
