RIP Geator… #Legend

Legends come and go; life is about making memories; so do as much damn good as you can while we’re still here because that’s all we can take with us…

“So my life was connected with wonderful people. And if it ends tomorrow, I won’t be sorry because I made people happy and making people happy has fulfilled my life.

I never shared the stage with Jerry Blavat, Geator with Heater, but I shared a flight with him once, FLL to PHL, and he was a ball of fire. I just found out he died this morning in hospice and I can’t imagine him any other way than what he was when I met him – full of life, full of stories, very kind and so encouraging to me. Sending love to Keely and all his family. RIP The Hot Sauce Boss.
