From Delores GEIGER Glass ('59 honorary) in 2013:

My brother, Frederick Albert "Fred" GEIGER, was a '64 Columbia High graduate who attended Lewis and Clark Elementary and Chief Jo Junior High. Fred was born in Richland on September 11, 1945, and passed away from complications of diabetes on July 14, 1998, in Medford, OR.

Fred was buried in Williams, OR, alongside his parents, Florence and Delos Geiger, who both retired after working 25 years for General Electric, Douglas United Nuclear and Battelle. His brother, Charles (who accidently died at age 13 in 1956), and other family members are also buried alongside Fred.

He and his wife, Verla, had two sons, Steven and Nathan, and a daughter, Kelly, when they resided in Seattle. Fred worked for Boeing for a short while and then for his father-in-law, as a journeyman electrician. He became an electrical contractor and trained both of his sons in the trade. All of his children are now grown and have children of their own, residing in Montana and Arizona.

Fred shared his interest in theology with his family and was able to visit Israel with his mother, wife and two sisters, Rosalie GEIGER Hughes ('57) and Delores GEIGER Glass ('59wb), before his passing.

His sister, Rosalie , died in 2013.
