Daison graduated from Syracuse University, was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and rowed crew on the eight man boat as noted in an article in the AUBURN CITIZEN, Friday May 18, 1924, p. 2. He lived in various places until retirement in Florida. He liked all things mechanical, especially boats and airplanes, which he owned and flew.

On July 2, 1928, while with a group of friends at Lake Champlain, he saw a woman in trouble far from shore. By the newpaper account he swam to where she disappeared, dove to find her on the bottom 25 feet below and brought her to the surface. A half hour of artificial respiration was necessary to revive her. Hundreds witnessed the rescue.
