He received his early Christian education from Bethel Heard Baptist Church and was a proud member of the “Class of 1979” from Newnan High School in Newnan, Georgia.

Good evening to the family of Geter as we called him @ at&t. We were fellow coworkers there, I remember when we first met, connected on the first day. A soft n quite spirit he had. Loved to talk about his wife and children. We won service technicians of the quarter together. I was in the Ben Hill group and he in the Evansville group. He will be missed.
