William H. Geiger, 82, of Macungie and formerly of Quakertown, passed away on Friday, March 6, 2026, at Lehigh Valley Hospital—Cedar Crest.

Born on April 27, 1943, in Quakertown, he was the son of the late Harold and Laura (Pinkston) Geiger.

A graduate of Quakertown High School, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving during the Vietnam War.

Following his Honorable Discharge in 1965, William returned home to help his father run the family business, Geiger Aluminum, where he remained until his retirement in 1998.

Outside of work, baseball was his greatest passion. After playing as a catcher on the Air Force baseball team, he continued playing Tri- County Baseball for many years. He was active in the community umpiring for little league baseball games and coaching both little league and midget football. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and golfing with his friends. Some of his happiest times were spent on the beach with his wife, children, and grandchildren.

William will be lovingly remembered by his wife of sixty years: Joy (Somers) Geiger, to whom he wed on September 25, 1965; daughter: Kathy Pearson (Mark); son: Jeffery Geiger; and his grandchildren: Marissa Janicki (Brandon) and Jacob Pearson.

Services will be private.

Arrangements are in the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
