I worked at the Dental office Jack went to. I worked there for 26 years and saw him two times a year.
He just retired from the police force when I met him. He had a beautiful rose garden. He occasionally
brought the office a bouquet from his garden. Once he brought us a PURPLE rose.
Jack was ALWAYS kind.
Peace be with you and your family.

Our thought go out to the family. We will forever remember Uncle Jack's laugh & smile that would light up the room. Memories of the Geiwitz card games, in Hokah, are such happy times. He will be missed. Continued prayers during this difficult time.

Jack & Rosie were great next door neighbors of mine on Bridge RD for 7 years. We had good times to be sure. While Jack was a police officer I was a fireman. We shared many situations together. I will never forget Jack's smile and laugh. Rest in peace old friend. Ralph Henes Crossville, TN.

I grew up across the street from Jack and the Geiwitz family. Me growing up in the 1960's Jack was the big intimidating 'policeman' who lived right across the street 2 doors up. He protected our street and our city,
JACK GEIWITZ did Monona proud and we thank you for helping to keep us safe for 30 years !

Jack was a GREAT Police Officer that Monona could be proud of. He was a great mentor to a young police officer and friend. I always remember him and Rosie who I joked with and called "Ma" . He was always willing to help anyone in need. I will always remember his laugh. Prayers to your family.
