GEIS, John Byron Sr. 100, died May 29 at the home of his daughter, Julie Ferrara, in Monterrey, Mexico. He was born Dec. 18, 1908 at home at 226 Hopeland St. in Dayton, the youngest of 8 children of John J. and Rosa Rose Geis, attended Emmanual Elementary School and St. Mary's Prep before becoming a member of the first graduating class of Chaminade HS. He graduated from the University of Dayton in 1933, where he was a member of the golf team and ROTC. His marriage in 1934 to Hildegarde (Peg) Mastbaum lasted until her death in 1995, he is survived by his second wife, Betty Strauss Wilson of Pittsburgh. As a boy he worked as a street lighter for Dayton Power and Light and delivered sports scores for the wireless. After college he served as an officer in the Civilian Conservation Corp in Kentucky before returning to Dayton to work in construction. He was called up in WWII, rising to the rank of Major while serving in the 7th Tank Destroyer Division at Ft. Hood, Texas. Returning to Dayton after the war, he worked for several businesses before starting his own home building company, building more than 400 homes throughout the Dayton area. He and Peg retired to Sun City Center FL in 1976. He was a member of Walnut Grove Country Club where he pursued his lifelong love of golf which began as a child when he picked up and assembled rejected club parts behind the McGregor Golf Co. He continued playing golf well into his 90's. Also a crack gin player, he passed the passion for the game onto 3 generations of descendants. A great story teller with a wonderful memory, he leaves behind hundreds of stories of a life well lived. Prior to his death he was the oldest living alum of the University of Dayton, proudly wearing his Golden Flyer hat and lapel pin for his 100th birthday party. In addition to his wife and daughter, he leaves son, John B. Geis Jr. of Sarasota, FL, and daughter Kathryn (Kitty) Daly of Baltimore, MD. Another daughter, Rosie Barstow of Bellbrook died in 2006.
