Francis T. Harmer

Francis T. Harmer (Fran), 70, of Jenkintown, PA was called home on Wednesday, August 12th. Fran is predeceased by his parents Frank and Catherine Harmer and his sisters Kathleen Geiger and Rosemary Martinjuk. Fran is survived by his wife Geralynn (Gerry) Macko Harmer, his daughters Jennifer Eilbacher (Kurt) and Erin Hughes (Ed) and his brother Joseph Harmer. He was a loving grandfather to Brynn, Ellie, Olivia, Kyle, Caroline, Nolan and Carly Jane. He leaves behind eleven nieces and nephews and seventeen great nieces and nephews, as well as his sister-in-law Teresa Lynn Macko, brother-in-law James Geiger and former wife Margaret Harmer. Fran was a simple man who loved his family and friends. He was incredibly proud of his 7 grandchildren. He found joy in surf fishing, playing the lottery, drinking Wawa coffee and cheering on PSU football with his golden retriever by his side. Fran was a man of many mottos; one of his favorite sayings when talking about life was, “We’re only here for a visit”. His visit was cut short, but in his 70 years he touched many hearts and he will be missed by all who knew him. Relatives and friends are invited to his visitation Wednesday, August 19th from 10-10:50 AM followed by his funeral mass at 11 AM both at Immaculate Conception BVM Church, 602 West Avenue, Jenkintown, PA.
