Obituary of Anton Geiger

Anton "Tony" Geiger passed away on Monday, December 12, 2011, in Pompano Beach, Florida. He was 82. He was born in Weiler, Germany, where he grew up and later became a carpenter. In 1957 he immigrated to the United States with his wife Marianne to pursue the American dream. In 1960 he started Tony's Home Improvement which he successfully ran for over 50 years. His business success allowed him to later expand into real estate investments. He valued hard work, and remained active in his real estate business well into his 70's. Despite his success, he maintained a modest lifestyle. He loved spending time with his family, gathering with friends and sharing great meals. He loved the outdoors, walking his dogs and was very proud of his German heritage. Tony was a communicant of Our Lady of Peace RC Church in North Brunswick and Assumption Church in Pompano Beach, FL. He was also a member of the Elks and German-American Club of New Brunswick.
