John 14:1-3
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
Robert Warren Geisel, also known as “Bob or Gus,” was born on June 7, 1942 in Boston, MA to the late Frederick Geisel and Valda (Willis) Geisel who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his older brother, Fred Geisel and his older sister, Lorraine Geisel. Bob passed away on Sunday, November 15, 2020 at Zebulon Rehabilitation Center in Zebulon, NC.
