James Arthur Geer

I’m so sorry to hear of James passing. He was a great guy. We were in the same youth group in our teen years. I have lots of fond memories of those years, I’m praying for all of the remaining Geer family, that God will give you peace and comfort.

James was a kind and very talented man. I did not know him very long, but he had such a quiet earnestness about him. The world will miss his talent and his profound talent - most of all, his kindness and dignity. Rest well.

I will always remember James as a talented musician and mathematician. He loved tap dancing too! I met him at Waverly High School and we were both in the Christian Singing Group called "Charis" and we were in two high school musicals --"Anything Goes" and "George M!". I choreographed "Kiss Me Kate" when he directed the musical in Holt. I will miss his exuberant spirit! May God comfort his Family and Friends in this time of sorrow...

I loved James. He was a dear friend and a musical colleague. We worked on many productions together both on-stage and with him as musical director. He was my accompanist of choice, and often played for me on various solo gigs. My sons (Danny, Chris and Cameron Bethea) and I have been to his home many times for rehearsals and cast parties, and had the pleasure of getting to know Rich and Carol.

I was fortunate to work with James on several productions. I appreciated both his monster talent on the keys, and his quirky sense of humor.

But it was flattering how he boosted local musicians/actors — he was always trying to build up local performing arts groups with as much talent as he could. He wanted...

I’m heavy-hearted James death. His unique talent, and upbeat personality were gifts he shared readily. I was blessed to perform under his musical direction several times.

I have fond memories of my childhood with James a part of it. Between going to movies with him or Geer Family get togethers, it was always wonderful to share the moments. He will be missed.

Thank you for the wonderful musical memories of Ain’t Misbehavin
