Robert “Bob” Franklin Geiger, 78, passed away Sept. 26, 2015 at his residence in Lake City, Fla. His suffering with Pulmonary Fibrosis is now over and he is at peace with his Lord. Robert was born Nov. 23, 1936 in Mayo, Fla., to the late David Clayton Geiger II and Shelly (Pridgeon) Geiger.  
Bob was of the Church of Christ faith and was a veteran who served in the United States Air Force. He retired from AT&T as a Technical Supervisor. Bob would fill the room with laughter and joy. He loved to tap into everyone’s love of life. Bob loved this life, but he loved his Lord and the promise of Heaven far greater. He will be missed by all, especially the little children he stopped to hug, hold and “high five”!
