Beloved husband for 45 years to Elfrieda "Chris" Geib nee Mayr. Loving father of Karl Geib. Cherished brother of Harry (Mary) Hassen. Proud grandfather of 4. Dearest great-grandfather of 6. Fond uncle of many nieces and nephews.

Don retired from Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) as a Switchman after 40 years. Don co-workers lovingly called him "Baby Dumpling" and marveled at how fast he was able to jump off the caboose and switch the line. He was an avid golfer and fisherman who was always bringing a catch home. Don loved family gatherings and playing with his dog Baby Girl. He was a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Cubs. Don traveled twice to Europe with Chris to see where she was born. Donald was loved by many and will be missed by more.
