DianeWe were so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was such an interesting person to talk with and we will miss seeing his smiling face when you came to visit HP. You will be in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Jan and Paul Culp
Dear Diane,Joyce and I extend to you and your family our deepest sympathy on Jim's passing. He was a kind and gentle individual. You are in our thoughts and prayers.Sincerely, Joyce & Paul CalitriWesterly, R.I.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as the comfort found in Godâ??s word the bible. Romans 5:12 says, "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, â??And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.â?
Dear Diane, Maralyn, Kim, Robert, Kelly, Keith, Kenny and other relatives.This memory comes from one who knew Jim briefly at Kodak and the U of R in the 70's but has always kept those memories close. Jim taught the capstone class for all MBA students – several sections for both full and part-time students – I was one of his "PT" students. His wit, intelligence and "real knowledge" made the class one that everyone looked forward to attending. The best memory was the all class party at which prizes were awarded for the teams that had won the all class business competition. Each student had contributed $1.00, a total of well over $140. The winning team (teams consisted of six or seven members) won the pot. Jim brought a $100 dollar bill an a couple of $20's and expected us to be able to split it on the spot. Also at that party, he and I played Euchre against the two full time students who were the U of R campus champions. We caught them cheating (trumping and then burying the hole card of the suit previously trumped after winning the point). The commotion brought the whole party watching over our shoulders. So we did the only appropriate thing – we began cheating on them using the same technique. They never caught on! His memory lives in the thoughts of students of that class.John D Foote, class of '75
Lit a candle in memory of Edward "Jim" Geater
I am thinking of you and am sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Joy (Alderman) Johnson
Mr. Geater will be deeply missed at the Sundial East office. I will sorely miss his smiling face, his teasing and happy outlook when he would come to the office to pick up the mail. Mr. Geater was more than just an owner; he was part of the Sundial East Family in my heart. He always had a twinkle in his eyes, and no matter what mood you were in he always made you smile. He was my Friend, I loved him and will miss his daily "mail pick-ups" especially when I'd ask him how he was doing, and he'd always answer "Fantastic, but getting better" , no matter how he was feeling. Mr. Geater was a good man, who taught me a lot I am so grateful to have crossed his path in this lifetime.Joanne Gucciardo
