Robert Joseph Geiger

11-13-1959/1-30-2019

In the beginning, he was known to all as Bobby/Bob to all of us. In later years he insisted that

everyone call him Robert. When one of his long ago friends learned that he wanted to be known

as Robert, well she just could not do it, and so for her, he is Bobby-Robert.

Robert was born in New York in 1959 to Robert Joseph Geiger Sr. and Mary Irene

Geiger. Robert had three siblings - Thomas Geiger, partner Mary McNabb, Jackie Geiger

Edwards, spouse Dan Edwards, niece Abbey, nephew Jake and Doreen Geiger Filosa, spouse

Rob Filosa, nephew Brent. Robert had two amazing sons Gregory and Matthew Geiger.

Robert graduated from NYU with a Bachelor’s in Economics.

Robert was an entrepreneur following in his father’s footsteps. Robert had a long career, he

started many businesses, became an amazing public speaker, and of course his beloved music

became his passion.

Outside of music, business and his family, Robert loved model airplanes. He truly enjoyed

working with his hands and all of the fine detailed work required building and flying model

airplanes. Robert was a member of the AMA, and flew with a local chapter here in NC, the

Flying Tigers.

Robert was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 5 years ago in January 2019. Robert wrote about

much of his journey on this website - http://www.robertscancercure.com/

We all watched Robert transform his life in a matter of months. He refused to begin with any

standard treatment, did his own research and decided to get healthy before any other treatment

would start. With the support of Dr. Graham and Waverly Hematology Oncology, Robert began

his journey.

In a matter of seven months he dropped the excess weight, was running every day, and playing

racquetball 3 times a week. He was in the best shape of his life. He once stated that cancer gave

him his life back. He began a five year journey of reflection, healing, making and strengthening

relationships.

Robert’s final days were spent at Transitions Life Care Hospice facility in Raleigh, NC. We are

forever grateful for the love and support that poured in during Robert’s five days there. For this,

in lieu of flowers we would be honored if any donations go to Transitions Life Care Hospice

facility: https://transitionslifecare.org/donate/

Bravo Robert

You lived your life your way, on your terms and never looked back.

Bravo.

Rest in peace.
