Lloyd "Butch" Geise

Dear Lynn, Adam and Ryan,
I just learned of Butch's untimely death when I was visiting Palmyra this past weekend. I am so sorry for your loss and the world's loss. Butch was a special person and and a wonderful friend . He touched so many people young and old. I will never forget our special times that we had-so many laughs over the years- Watkins Glen, Star Wars, wine tasting etc. My heart is out to you all, and I am here to help you. Please contact me if you see this and I will try...

Well, i only took voice lessons from Butch for about 2 years, but i have never learned so much in such a short amount of time. He turned my love for singing into my passion for singing. He will always be in my heart. and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I worked with Butch at Palmyra Elementary School, and my children were blessed to have had him for their music teacher during their years at Pal. El. He was an amazingly gifted music teacher who was able to create magic with his students, both through his music and creative movement performances. My daughters were blessed to be a part of them, and they loved every minute. Our school was gifted by his talents and his dedication. He adored music and creativity and inspired both in his...

Dear Lynn, Ryan, and Adam, Please accept our sincere sympathies in the loss of your husband and dad. Butch was always very patient, kind, and supportive of my son Scott both while he took guitar lessons from him during high school, and after he went off to college, asking about him frequently and wishing him success. We found him to be an excellent teacher as well as a caring friend and mentor. Both Scott and I will remember him with fondness.

I have very fond memories of Butch at Victor Intermediate School. We both shared a love for music and would often have profound discussions about music education and the importance of the arts in school. Butch was a seasoned veteran at the time and I was an eager, rookie teacher. He was so helpful in many ways and I am thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing such a kind person.

I am thankful for wonderful memories of Mr. Geise at Palmyra Elementary School where I taught Kindergarteners. His school music programs were awesome! He loved music and he loved his students! I remember Lynn, Adam, and Ryan visiting him at times at school! Thinking of You from Bradford, Pennsylvania! Jean Leonard

When I think of "Butch," I think of my warm, gentle, and fun-loving classmate in high school. We shared wonderful times in band, chorus, and various musicals. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

I have known Mr. Geise and his family since elementary school and I was shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. He was always welcoming, supportive, and a sincerely nice guy. We extend our deepest sympathy to Mrs.Geise, Adam, and Ryan and are thankful for the wonderful memories we will always have of Mr. Geise.

I knew "Butch" first from the Manchester playground and then as we began high school through chorus, band and musicals. We had great fun! I have many fond memories. I send my sympathies to his family and all those who shared his love of music. I have no doubt he's leading the choir with joy in his heart...
