GEISLER, Jr., Thomas J. "Tom"

Thomas J. Geisler, Jr., age 91, formerly of Butler Township, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 27, 2025. Tom was born on March 17, 1934, in Dayton, Ohio, to the late Thomas J. Geisler, Sr. and Caroline Keferl. Tom was a man of quiet strength, enduring faith, and unconditional love. A proud U.S. Army veteran, Tom served as a paratrooper during the Korean War. He went on to work as an electrician with Chapel Electric for over 40 years and was a devoted member of St. Christopher Catholic Church for more than 60 years.
