Loving son in law to the late Dorothy and Louis Geller and brother in law to Sumner and Carol Geller and the late Albert and Roslyn Geller.  Grampy was also beloved by many very special nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. For the last 30 years he truly loved and was grateful for his very special relationship with Eudene (Eudie) Alleyne, a beloved member of our family. His overwhelming devotion to his family was his lasting legacy. Grampy moved to Boston at the age of 18 and worked at his family textile business, Security Mills, for many years, however ended his career at the age of 86, when he retired from Barrow Industries of Norwood, Ma. He was a constant in the lives of those closest to him, but also an everlasting presence for those who knew him in a fleeting way. Born in Brooklyn, New York, while rooting on all Boston teams, Grampy was a diehard Yankee fan. He never missed a Patriot game as long as Tom Brady was at the helm. Grampy was a man of routine. He read the newspaper from cover to cover, as well as exercised for 30 minutes daily. He was advocate for lengthy dental hygiene, a lover of red wine, mallomars, tongue sandwiches,  the Sunday crossword puzzle and beautiful young ladies. He had a handshake that could crush a grown man and a heart that knew no bounds. While in many ways he was a simple man, for those who knew and loved him, he loomed larger than life. He was our Superhero. He will be deeply missed, celebrated and remembered forever. Due to current restrictions, a private graveside funeral will be held Monday November 9th. To honor his memory, donations can be made to the National Breast Cancer Coalition, 1010 Vermont Ave NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20005, or go online to www.stopbreastcancer.org.
