Ken was a good man, very calm and humble.  The last time I saw him was early this year at the state assessor clinic.  I enjoyed sending my District 4 referees to support his Association Cup tournaments.  I am very sad about your loss.  Thank you for sharing him with referee community.  He made a huge impact for thousands of referees. God Bless You Ken, you will be missed dearly by so many ;-(

When I read of the passing of Ken, I felt the cloud that also passed over the pitch. I could never count the number of hours that I, and many, many, many others, shared with Ken; at times, sweltering in the shack(s) (deemed to be the referee station(s) at Morgan Hill); or dripping wet, asog with rain drenched uniforms, reveling, and often, regardless of the weather,  abask in the glow of Ken's knowledge and commitment to the game. His advice, in the many forms that he provided it, was invaluable to me, and the many other referees that had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ken. His knowledge of, and commitment to the game, was unparalleled. There are many great referees in this world, some specifically due to Ken's guidance and counsel; but none better.

Be it known, Ken did not assign me to 8 am games, just because I brought the doughnut holes.

The Morgan Hill pitch(s) will never be quite the same!

I shared many long days with Ken during the CYSA Cup weekends.  He was a kind, patient and gentle person who I will greatly miss.  I will always think of him when I'm walking the fields at Morgan Hill.

He will be missed by me and many other long-time soccer folks.

We are so very sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the Geisler family.

Sincerely, George and Lynn

Ken was dedicated to soccer for so many years.  We met Ken way back when Shawn was 8 or 9 and  he was refereeing and assigning for Morgan Hill, before it be came a complex. I worked with Ken on several tournaments at the referee's table, as well as Bill refereed with him and for him on many occasions and assessed him a few times.  Ken will be missed very much.

May your sorrow for the loss of Ken be lightened by the fact how great of a person he was. I know I would not be as good of a Referee if were not for him.  His commitment to give to others was immense.

I'm going to miss you, Ken.  It was a privilege to work with and for you (and to tease you a bit).  I'll never forget some of the assessments you gave me.

My deepest condolences to your family.
