With great sadness, I write to inform you of the death of Geoff Achtmann last night, Monday, October 17, at 9:20 p.m., at Alive Hospice. His beloved wife, Gina, was with him.
We will gather sometime soon to celebrate Geoff’s life and the gift of his presence at Greater Nashville UU Congregation; details will follow when that celebration is planned.
In grief and gratitude,
Rev. Denise
