Joe Geller Obituary (1940 - 2024) - Norwalk, VA - Daily Progress 07/04/2024

Joe Geller was a gem. A generous, supportive, enthusiastic man whose energy rivaled that of a hummingbird. When Bill and I began the HFM journey in the mid 1990’s, we knew we needed someone with both experience and time to advise us. We had known Joe, Mickey, Betsy and Katie well, and were delighted that Joe became our mentor through SCORE. (https://www.score.org) In addition to Hamiltons’, Joe’s savvy helped launch many small businesses here in Charlottesville. His encouragement never faltered even after he and Mickey moved away. Bill and I hope we made him proud. We send much love to the Geller Family.
