A native of Monroe County, WI, he was born January 23, 1930, the son of the late William Geier and the late Helen (Petzke) Geier.

 Bill grew up on the family farm near Wilton, WI. He graduated from Black Valley School and took over the family farm. He was united in marriage to Gladys (Degner) Geier on July 14, 1951 at Saint Matthews Lutheran Church on South Ridge near Ontario, WI. Together they farmed and raised their family in Black Valley for 25 years. In 1976, they moved to Hopkinsville, KY for a warmer climate. Together they enjoyed their country home and the many trips to see the sights of Western Kentucky. Bill worked for Thomas Industries for 20 years. After his retirement he stayed busy as a mail carrier for several area businesses well into his eighties. Bill enjoyed visiting with relatives, neighbors and friends.  They were lifelong members of WELS and Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church.
