They settled in Prescott, WI where they lived for 45 years before moving to Hudson In 2019. They were very blessed to be able to travel to many destinations together, and made many great memories with friends and family.

Tom had many friends and was always very kind to others. He loved to fish, snowmobile, shoot skeet and hunt with his Prescott friends, but after his granddaughters Piper and Tessa were born, his world would revolve around them. He loved to spoil them with anything they wanted. Being up at the cabin was his favorite place to be. He loved to have fish fries, fires and taking his granddaughters out on the lake tubing and fishing.

He will be missed by his wife of 50 years, Theresa; son Tomm (Pam) Geistfeld; granddaughters Piper Grace and Tessa Jean; siblings Vinton (Claire) Geistfeld, Ruth (Joel) Hansen, Theodore “Ted” Geistfeld, Luther (Jean) Geistfeld, and Faith Bergemann; as well as many nieces and nephews.
