He has been married to his wife, Phyllis, for 30+ years, with whom he enjoys being out on the ocean in their boat. He is an avid golfer and, after neglecting golf for a while due to other priorities, has “wiped the rust and mold off” of his old golf clubs and resolved to “reclaim a once respectable golf game.” His newest hobby: in November of 2020, he started studying the piano.
Illustrious Geiser shares these as reflections with us: I consider myself blessed to have joined the Freemasons to learn how to properly live life from men I ranked as wiser, more experienced, and generally better than myself. I wasn’t disappointed. The men with whom I have crossed paths, particularly in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, have enriched my life in a manner for which I will be forever grateful. Scottish Rite Freemasonry has a very storied history in Hawaii, going all the way back to when Hawaii was a Monarchy. I am humbled to have a small part in the writing of the next bit of Scottish Rite history in Hawaii.”
