Obituary of John "Dr. J." Geldert

(Dr. J.’s Audio-Video, Arnprior)

With great sadness we announce that John Geldert of Arnprior passed away at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital on Monday evening, August 21, 2017. He was 75. Beloved husband of Rosa (nee Gaviola). Dear brother of Suzanne Geldert of Ottawa and Michael Geldert (Jean) of Calgary. Special uncle of Monica Laing, Karen Gaviola and Marissa Hangan. Fondly remembered by his brother-in-law, Lito Gaviola as well as the entire Gaviola family. Also survived by several nieces, nephews and so many wonderful people that John was proud to call “friends”. A huge man with an even bigger heart, John loved people. He always took the time to chat. His knowledge of sales and electronics made him a beacon for many over the years as he always tried to stay on top of the latest innovations in his field. Our community has lost a real pillar. He will be missed. Family and friends were invited to pay their respects during visitation at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Thursday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. and again on Friday morning from 9:30 until 10:45 a.m. A Service to honour and remember Dr. J. took place in the Pilon Family Chapel on Friday morning at 11 o’clock. In memory of John, please consider a donation the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation.
