  DUNLAP, IL - George Kreiss, 74, of Dunlap passed away on Friday, March 18, 2011, at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Illinois. Born on July 13, 1936, in Neenah, Wis., to James and Dorothy Kreiss; brother of Ann Zarnoth (James) and Karen Banks (Bill); and brother-in-law of Dean Mack (Patricia); he is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Sandy (Mack) Kreiss; his three sons, James Kreiss (Julie Dubansky) of San Diego, Calif., Don Kreiss (Kristin) of West Bloomington, Mich., and Andrew Kreiss (Michael Lewis) of Los Angeles, Calif.; his daughter, Jennifer Campbell (Brian) of Sun Prairie, Wis.; and his five grandchildren, Emily, Kate, Abby, Perry and Lindsay. George received a bachelor of economics degree from Beloit College, where he was also a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. It is there that he also met his wife and formed many lifetime friendships. George's career was largely as an entrepreneur and fundraiser. He and his partners formed Peoria-based P.F. Sales, a wholesale food brokerage. Later he became the executive director of the Community Foundation of Central Illinois. A longtime member of the First United Methodist Church, he especially valued his time on the FUMC Foundation and as a member of the Irving School Buddy Program. A lifetime lover of sports and music, George was an ever hopeful Chicago Cubs fan and an exultant Green Bay Packers fan. But his greatest passion was his family. For them, George (Geejoe) was a source of wisdom, unconditional love, inspiration and laughter. Published in Peoria Journal Star on March 20, 2011
