TomPeashey Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I have just been informed that after a long battle with cancer, Joey Geswaldo passed on over night with his family at his side. Joey was the former CFO of the Brigadiers and for many years was Class A coordinator for DCA. Joey was a HUGE part of the Brigadier's glory years. He never got as much credit as he deserved for their success. He was a good friend and will be missed.

hurcwave Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My condolences to Sandy and the Geswaldo family. I worked with and competed against Joe for many years. Most recently when he became DCA Class A Coordinator and working along side him, Norm and Paul at DCA Championships in Rochester. Joe always had what was best for the Corp's in what he did to promote the Class A platform. He got some ideas on the table to push the Class and Corps' to the next level and always went to bat for them against "the big boys" I'll miss working with him, but know I'll see him again down the road Do zobaczenia!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
