Obituary for Paul
Alexander Geiger
“Alex” Geiger
(1939-2016) passed away on October 14, 2016, after a long battle with
complications from Diabetes. He is survived by his wife, Mary Ann (Bunny)
Geiger, his daughter Becky Geiger (son-in-law Joseʹ, grandsons Alex &
Dominique), son David Geiger (daughter-in-law Kori, grandson Martin), son Paul
Geiger (daughter-in-law Mercedes, grandsons Michael and Sam), sisters JoAnn
Ewoldt (James) and Leah Heinemann (Mark), brother-in-law Dave Thomson (Lynn),
and beloved nieces and nephews. He is also survived by a brother-of-the-heart,
George Bond, and many other precious friends.
Alex grew up in
St. Louis, Missouri, attended the University of Missouri where he participated
in wrestling and football. He joined the Marine Corps where he was a fighter
pilot in Viet Nam and retired from the Corps as a captain. His skills as a
military pilot earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross and 23 Air Medals. He
then became a commercial pilot for Northwest Airlines where he worked for 39
years, retiring as a 747 captain. He loved his work and looked forward to each
and every trip.
Shortly before his
retirement, he and Bunny moved permanently to their cabin in the Crosslake area
where there were no more sad Sundays when they had to return to the cities.
Alex was beloved
by all because he only saw the good in people. He was a great big “teddy bear,”
and will be sorely missed.
His service will
be at the Crosslake Lutheran Church (35960 Co. Rd. 66; Crosslake MN) on Monday,
October 24th at 1:00 P.M. Visitation will begin an hour prior to the
service. Burial will follow at Norwood Cemetery, Pine River, MN, followed by a
meal at the fellowship hall at Faith Lutheran Church, Swanburg MN.
