Frank Samuel Geistle Jr.

Frank Samuel Geistle Jr., age 83, went to meet his Heavenly Father on August 11, 2021. He was born July 9, 1938 in Michigan to Frank and Sarah Geistle, who preceded him in death. Frank will be remembered by many neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family for going into work early to make coffee, always working hard, always being stern but kind, and helping people any way he could. Frank found much joy in spending time with family, traveling with his wife, working in the flower and vegetable garden, fishing, hunting, bird watching, and being around and talking to other people. Frank worked many years at CEI, at the Holden Arboretum after he retired, and even traveled to Alaska to assist forest rangers. Frank also proudly served in the U.S Army. Frank leaves behind his wife Mae; children, Elizabeth Beard, Mary Daughters, and Frank “Sam” Geistle; step-children, Mathew McCabe, Vincent McCabe, Micheal McCabe; his grandchildren, Danielle Quinteros, Danina O’Leary, Cherish Chubb, Samantha Thomlison, David Beard, Rory Becker; 13 great grandchildren, and many other friends, co-workers, and neighbors. Friends and family will be received 3-5 pm Saturday, August 21, 2021 at Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River Street in Madison. Online obituary and condolences may be viewed at www.behmfuneral.com
