After graduating from Central Catholic High School in May of 1950 he joined his father at Capital Tire Inc.

During his remarkable 68 year career, he oversaw the company's growth from a single location to a three state multi location distribution organization servicing nearly 5000 retail locations.
In his spare time, Tom was an avid yachtsman. He and his wife Brenda frequently traveled from the Great Lakes down the eastern seaboard to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Tom was also a 66 year member of the Inverness Club and longtime member and former president of the Toledo Club.
Tom was involved in many charitable and civic causes in northwest Ohio, serving on the St Vincent's Hospital Foundation Board and very involved with charitable activities at Central Catholic High School.
First married to Therese Gladieux in 1951, they raised three children. The marriage ended in 1977. Tom married Brenda Diemer in November of 1979. Tom and Brenda lived in Perrysburg overlooking the river for nearly 40 years.
In addition to his parents, Tom was preceded in death by his sister, Dorothy Pencheff, Therese Gladieux Geiger, and daughter Jeannine Vandendriesche.
Tom is survived by his loving wife Brenda, sons Thomas B Geiger, Jr. (Paulette), Richard J. Geiger and son-in-law Robert Vandendriesche. Tom has five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

I knew a Tom Geiger from Toledo many years ago, when he Visited me in Cali, Colombia. Could this possibly be the same Tom Geiger?
