We were greatly saddened to hear about Dr. Geraci’s passing. Our family has fond memories of him and his dear wife. For several years they sat in front of us at church. He would always turn and greet us warmly and engage us and our children in conversation. His love for Jesus was evident to all who knew him. He is missed already. Praying his family is wrapped up in God’s comfort and peace knowing he is with his Savior.

To the Herman Geraci Family, I was saddened to see the passing of my dear friend, Herman, who've I have known for almost 70 years .He was a real gentleman, great sense of humor and as a Dentist a real professional. I know he wil be missed by all of you and by all who knew him My condolences to you all but I know you wiil cherish the memories, God bless Herman!

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your loved one.  As a life long friend of Dee Colonna, I spent a significant amount of time at the Whitney Pl.  family home. Junior and his friends taught us how to jitterbug after school. I looked up to him as an older brother.  He was always kind and caring and fun loving. He always attended any gathering that was put on for us when we visited  Buffalo, after moving to California in 1961.  So many fun times together.  I will always remember him fondly. May he rest in peace.  Sincerely, Jo Spatola

We send our deepest and most sincere condolences to Mrs. Geraci, Gregg, Gemma, Jeffrey and your families. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Whether you knew him as Dr. Geraci...Herman...Herm...or Tim, he was just a kind, gentle and loving soul.  You can see this through his children and grandchildren.  He made countless numbers of lives better through his professional skill and manner as a dentist.  He always made you feel welcome in his home, you were guaranteed to laugh and feel loved.  He always had that twinkle in his eyes when he greeted you that let you know the happiness he felt that you were there.  Thank you for giving us - your family and friends - a great life.  I can hear your voice and laughter as I write this... I will miss you Deke.

I remember having multiple discussions with Herman about his strong belief that Sylvester Stallone was the best actor ever.  I appreciate the time he spent making his children’s friends feel like they were at home.   

Gemma and Family, So sorry to read about your fathers passing. May he rest in peace with the Lord. Bob Franczak

May his soul rest in peace.
Herm was a class mate at Canisius and my dentist  for awhile till I moved out of town . I was a friend of the Bongi family and kept in touch with Herm through them.
My sympathy to his entire family.

Deepest condolences to your family at this time. Herman and I grew up together. Many great times and memories. 

I am so sorry for your loss. Herman had been an active member of the JCC where he used to come and work out on a regular basis.  Always known for his kindness and compassion he will be missed by all of us.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Geraci Family.

As many, I'm certain, my childhood experiences at the dentist were not pleasant. I had not been for a check-up in years when, in my early 20's I was recommended to D. Geraci. The office was upstairs at Elmwood and Hodge. Little did I know then that he would become our family dentist for the next 30+ years. 
Painstakingly he repaired all the damage that had been done in my years of neglect and, to my surprise, without pain. He guided my wife and me and ultimately our 3 daughters to dental health. He went from being Dr. Geraci, to Gentle Geraci, to Gentle and then insisted I call him Herman. He was the one who was first to identify a condition in my wife that appeared to be cancer. His early identification was instrumental in saving her life. He will always remain a hero in the Duggan Family annals. 
Please accept my sincere condolence. He was a special and gifted man.

To our dear friends and old neighbors RoseAnne, Greg, Gemma, and Jeff:  Nancy and I have such fond memories of our days as neighbors with the Geraci’s on Berryman Dr.  Simply put.....Herman was a great guy in so many ways.   He was a role model to me as a young father, the love for his family was what he lived for. It was always a pleasure for us to run into Herman wherever it was - brought back great memories of the good old days with our little babies on Berryman (he loved Andrew like he was his!!!). 
My sincere and deep condolences to RoseAnne, Greg, Gemma, and Jeff. 
Herman was the best!!!!

I am so sad to hear of the loss of Dr. Geraci.  He was our dentist for many, many years.  And although we began as patients, we developed into friends.  He was especially kind and caring.  As a new patient I had a dental emergency so he and Roseanne opened the office on a Saturday morning just to take care of me!  
I fondly remember lunches and dinners with the staff and family.  I could always be assured there would be lots of laughter.  
Please take solace in knowing he was well loved be everyone.

Dear RoseAnn
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved Herman.
I had known him since the mid50's and thru dental school.
He was always fun to be around and certainly was one of my favorite people.
I am sure that you and your family have lots of wonderful memories to sustain you thru this difficult time. He always brought a smile to my face when thinking about him.
May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.
please accept my condolences

To the family of Dr. Geraci; I was a patient of Dr. Geraci during the several years prior to  his retirement. I will forever remember him for his kindness and genuinely caring nature. I'm sorry for your loss and hope that you are comforted by the knowledge that he is with the Lord.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Mr Geraci  was part of my village growing up. Lessons on the value of family, hard work, enjoying life, forgiveness, and keeping an orderly closet ;-) were all exemplified. May you Rest In Peace  and thank you for the being part of who I am.

I was deeply saddened to read about Dr. Geraci’s passing. My brother and I did some landscape work at your house when we’re just starting out . He was so kind and welcoming, always engaged in conversation with us and offered something to drink. I remember sitting on the back patio with your entire family , my mom and my brother and I having a great time. When my brother was killed in a car accident a few years later, he was the first person to stop by the house to offer his condolences. That spoke volumes to me as to the kind of person he was... very kind, generous, and compassionate.  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your entire family. 

Just too many memories to share- thank you Dr Geraci for allowing me to be apart of your family.  

RoseAnn,
 We are so sorry to hear about your loss of Herman. Please know that we will keep both Herman, you, and your family in our prayers at this most difficult time. We have wonderful memories of being together in dental school, our reunions, and our professional associations.  We just heard from Wally Plewak.  We are in Florida and don't have much contact with our classmates any more. Please accept our sincere sympathy.
Joann and Phil Vullo
