Those who were fortunate enough to know him were touched by his kind spirit, fun loving nature, and loyal friendship. He made life beautiful, always sharing a lovingly prepared gourmet meal, a good laugh, or a comforting bear hug. He had a huge heart. He loved his family with all his might, especially his beautiful daughters, and his wife of nearly 25 years. He was a warm ray of sunshine in our lives, and he lit up a room with his infectious smile. The organizer of a 20 year annual golf trip, a.k.a “Man Golf,” Dan enjoyed a good round of golf, sharing a cold beer, and barbecuing at the family cottage in Silver Lake, PA with his golf buddies.
Dan is survived by his beloved wife, Heidi; his pride and joy twin daughters Lucille and Gretchen; and his cherished dog, Teddy.
He was the treasured first-born son of James Michael Geraghty and Margaret Geraghty George; and loving brother of Margaret Geraghty Pryor (Matt Pryor), Robert Lawrence Geraghty (Rebecca Geraghty). He was son-in-law to Anne Berge; brother-in-law to Christine and Rich Hutchinson, and Arlen Berge.
He was predeceased by father-in-law Ralph “Bud” Berge; and beloved cousin David “Gus” Schiefen. He was the world’s best uncle to Robert R. Geraghty, Fiona Geraghty, Madeline Pryor, Mariel Pryor, Randall Hutchinson, and Mandy Hutchinson; always regaling them with such fantastic scientific wonders as whistling through a blade of grass. Dan leaves behind friends and fun stories too numerous to mention.
Calling hours will be held on Thursday, March 28, from 5-7 p.m. at Dufresne & Cavanaugh Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Edward L. Rose Conservancy (visit elrose.org).
