Edwin Joseph Geci, 98, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 23, 2022. Mr. Geci served with the United States Army during World War II. He married the love of his life, Joye Moore Geci in 1947. Mr. Geci had various jobs in his life – working in paper mills and construction. He and Mrs. Geci raised several foster children together, and were always open to taking in children in need. He was one of the most generous souls you would ever meet, and always had a smile on his face. God broke the mold when he created Mr. Geci, for his wife will tell you there is definitely no more like him. He was greatly loved, and will be missed.
Mr. Geci was preceded in death by his parents, Stephen and Willa Mina Geci; and four brothers, Stephen Geci, George Geci, Dr. Theodore Geci, and Antone Geci.
He is survived by his wife of 75 years, Joye Moore Geci; children, Ira Lee Griffith, Joel Melvin Griffith, Floyd Neil Griffith, Mary Nell Griffith, Essie Lee Miller, Richard Mark Montero, and Denise Inez Montero; a niece, Charlene Stafford; as well as numerous grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other cherished family and friends.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. in Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spanish Fort.
