It is with profound sadness that CUPE PEI acknowledges the passing of Robert Albert Geiss.
In his career as a bus driver and President of Local 1145, Robert was a steadfast advocate for his fellow bus drivers and the children whom he drove that brought him immense joy every day. Beyond his advocacy for bus drivers, he also worked closely with our 3 other education locals and his leadership will be greatly missed throughout the education sector.
Robert had a kind soul, often found showing pictures of his fur-baby Peanut and bringing a laugh to anyone around him. He volunteered to drive CUPE PEI’s floats in the Pride parade and was always there to lend a hand. He will forever be remembered as a tireless leader, a proud CUPE member, and an incredible friend to us all.
Our deepest sympathies go out to his family including his wife Marjorie, step-son Alan, and fur-baby Peanut, as well as the members of Local 1145. Donations in Robert’s memory can be made to the PEI Humane Society.
