My Uncle Richie was my Dad’s Best Friend - Gumbadi. I am so grateful for knowing him and experiencing his loving greatness my entire life.
Simply said - Selfless service to community and devotion to family and friends was his mainstay.
Selfishly, I will miss our Sunday talks and listening to incredible stories about his life, his amazing family - and his yesteryear days with my Dad.
My family’s love and prayers go out to the incredible Extended Geldermann Family.
We pray for his peaceful journey and love-filled reunion with all that he loved on earth.
That Reunion will certainly be filled with standing room only.
Love, Cousin Joey - and the Lanzettas

Thank you, Uncle Richie, for years of wonderful childhood memories from the times our family spent together. You are in our hearts forever.
We are incredibly blessed that our dads were best of friends and know he will enjoy a love-filled welcome at Heaven’s gate. He was an incredible man, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend to many. His life’s tribute is one of selfless service and unbridled love and respect for all.
With all our love and prayers … Donna and Russ
