Larry Geiger

Larry will be lovingly remembered by his wife Carol, mother Bobbie, and brothers Vance and Jim. He was a dear father to his sons Christopher and Timothy, and beloved Grandpa to Ellerie, Sydney, Brennan, Cwynn, Rylan, and Honoria. He was preceded in death by his father Bradley.

Larry was born in Jacksonville, Florida and moved to Merritt Island, Florida at the age of 13. He graduated from Merritt Island High School and went on to earn a Forestry Degree from the University of Florida and later attended the University of Kansas where he earned a master’s degree in Computer Science.

He taught Forestry in Live Oak, Florida and then went on to be a Program Director for the Cypress Creek YMCA near Houston, Texas. He later went on to become an Assistant Camp Director for YMCA Camp Florida located in Lake Placid, Florida. He also worked as a Boy Scout District Executive in Lawrence, Kansas. After finishing his master’s degree in computer science he worked at the Kennedy Space Center as a computer programmer/analyst for 28 years. Then in the following 5 years he worked as a computer programmer for the Veteran’s Administration.

For many years Larry was involved with the Boy Scouts of America as a District Executive and later as a Scout Master for three separate troops: 705, 709 and 720. He enjoyed camping, hiking, canoeing and teaching outdoor skills.

His favorite hobbies included karate, archery, racquetball and riding his Goldwing motorcycle. One of his most memorable vacations was taking his motorcycle on the Auto-Train to Virginia and then riding it back to Florida with his wife, Carol. On the way they enjoyed riding down the Blue Ridge Parkway and through the beautiful mountains that he loved so much.

Throughout his life, Larry always had a strong connection with church and a willingness to share the love of Jesus Christ with others. He taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, read scripture in church as a lector and served as an elder. Another way that Larry shared Christ was by volunteering and being a member of the board for The Special Gathering of Rockledge, Florida.
