He is a lazy, unsuccessful, accident prone mechanic at a Merle's Service Station. He has a brother named 6 7/8, so named because every time a baby was born into the family, Geech's father would write down names and put them into a hat for his mother to pick one out, and she drew the hat size.Merle Sisson is Geech's boss.
