Sending love and prayers to the entire Geolat and Pajares family. What a wonderful legacy Norm left for so many of us to be inspired by.
Norm was one in a million. A friend to all and a stranger to none. As a dear friend to my parents and grandparents, he always seemed to be at one event or another, imparting his wisdom. While Norm will be missed here on earth, Heaven just gained a true treasure.
I am saddened to hear of Mr. Geolat's passing. He was very passionate about the community. I remember the first Board meeting that I attended with him, he was very welcoming. He will certainly be missed. To the family, thank you for sharing his life with us. Dr. Sulbrena Day
Dear Family, we were so sorry to learn of Norm’s passing, he will surely be missed! I have fond memories of working with Norm at the inception of the MECCA auction. Also, the times he would stop in the Township office for a cup of coffee, eager to share a funny story, update us on his garden or to bounce a new idea off of us. He loved and lived life to the fullest. You will be missed my friend, but your wonderful memory lives on. Prayers snd condolences to his beloved family from Dan and Donna Fietsam
Dear Mary, Barb and your entire family, my sincere condolences to you. Your dear Dad was a legend to Belleville citizens or to St. Teresa parishioners. I remember fondly all the wonderful times during Althoff and Concert Chorale days when we'd be welcomed with open arms by both your wonderful parents into your home. I know your parents are now reunited in Heaven in their eternal Home. My love and prayers to the entire Geolat family as you celebrate Mr. Geolat. A life well lived may he Rest in Peace! Sincerely, Angie Kiehl Garrett
A true gentleman, who always made time for others and gave back to the community despite life's all too frequent obstacles. Plus, he was genuine, be it in a suit, or straw hat and overalls.
