James Geier, Milacron president
James Geier, a member of Cincinnati Milacron's founding family and a former leader of the industrial company, died Wednesday at the age of 75.
Mr. Geier died from complications of heart failure. The initial illness came upon him while enjoying one of his favorite hobbies, racing his sailboat near his summer home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.
Mr. Geier was recognized as the leading architect of Cincinnati Milacron's diversification beyond machine tools, into businesses like industrial robotics, production of computer controls and semiconductor materials and other facets of factory automation. He was described in a 1984 Cincinnati Post story as being one of Ohio's "economic heavyweights."
"Jim Geier was a warm and jocular friend," said Neil A. Armstrong, the retired astronaut who was the director of Milacron's board for 20 years. "He had a fascination with machines, trains, boats and planes, and he worked incessantly on behalf of Milacron and the city of Cincinnati."
In 1951, he joined the the machinery and industrial supplies company co-founded by his grandfather Frederick A. Geier. He rose steadily through the management ranks and in 1970 followed his grandfather and father's footsteps and became Cincinnati Milacron's president.< p> Mr. Geier also made an impact outside of Milacron.
He was elected president of the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History in 1964 and served for 16 years. As a member of its board of directors, Mr. Geier played a role in relocating the museum to its current location at Union Terminal. Later, he served as chairman of the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and co-chairman of the Cincinnati Business Committee.
Ron Roberts, former executive director of the Cincinnati Business Committee, called Mr. Geier the quintessential community advocate.
"Jim Geier was one of a handful of people that I ever met who absolutely thought about the community first all of the time," Roberts said. "He defined what responsibility toward your community is all about." Mr. Geier directed the fund-raising campaign for the $36.5 million University of Cincinnati Engineering Research Center that opened in 1995. He was named a commissioner of the Hamilton County Park District in 1987.
He also followed in a Geier family tradition in United Way leadership that began with its founding in 1915.
Survivors include his wife, Christine Paske Geier; three children; Deborah Anne Oney (Steven) of West Barnstable, Mass., James Develin Geier of Miami Beach, Fla., and Aylward Whittier Geier (Gloria) of Cincinnati; four grandchildren; two sisters, Mary Alice Turner of Cincinnati and Amey Acheson Garber of Melbourne Beach, Fla.; and a brother, Frederick V. Geier, Jr., of Santa Ana, Calif.
A private funeral is planned. There will be a memorial service in Cincinnati next week, although the schedule was not complete today. Memorials may be made to the Geier Collections and Research Center at the Cincinnati Museum Center, 1301 Western Ave., Cincinnati, 45203.

Charles Fieger, 65, Kenton deputy sheriff
Few people decide to change careers in their early 50s, but Charles Fieger knew becoming a deputy sheriff in Kenton County would suit him well.
After quiting his job as a service manger with Rockcastle Oldsmobile Cadillac in Florence, Mr. Fieger thought the job in the sheriff's department was the perfect opportunity to mingle with people in the community. The job also put to use his gift for crunching numbers and administration.
"When you work in a public office, you get a chance to meet everyone," said Mr. Fieger's sister, Crestview Hills Mayor Claire Moriconi. "I think he felt very fortunate. He got to know lots of people through his job."
Charles F. "Chuck" Fieger Jr., 65, of Villa Hills, died at 3:55 a.m. Wednesday at St. Elizabeth Hospice Unit, Covington. He was a member of St. Joseph Church in Crescent Springs, the church's Holy Name Society and Villa Hills Civic Club.
He played college baseball at Xavier University, then went on to pitch in semi-professional leagues and was later voted into the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame. He was also a member of Perry Park Golf Club in Carrollton and Sugar Bay Golf Course, Warsaw.
When he was a teenager, family members nicknamed Mr. Fieger "smokestack" because of his duties shoveling coal to heat the family's farm house. He was often called on to perform other fatherly duties because his father - a sales man - was often away on business.
Family members say the added responsibilities made him a dedicated worker and solid role model.
Later in his life, much of his free time was spent following local teams like the Reds and Bengals and fishing with family and friends.
"He had a lot of responsibilities growing up," Mrs. Moriconi said. "But he still loved to have fun and made everyone around him very happy."
Other survivors include his wife, Elaine M. Heimbrock Fieger; sons, Chuck Fieger of Villa Hills, Mike Fieger of Fort Wright and Kevin Fieger of Burlington; daughters, Mary Beth Woods of Lakeside Park and Amy Flay of Springboro, Ohio; brothers, Steve Fieger of Fort Mitchell, Ken Fieger of Norwood, Ohio, Chris Fieger of Lakeside Park, Jerry Fieger of Covington, Dick Fieger of Cincinnati and Mark Fieger of Edgewood; sister Lynn McPhillips, of Crescent Springs, Mary Jo DeVillez of Oxford, Ohio, Marcia "Bo" Derks of Fort Wright, Cathy Skyrm cq of Florence and Beth McMillan of Crestview Hills; and seven grandchildren.
Mass of Christian burial will be at noon Friday at St. Joseph Church, Crescent Springs. Visitation will begin there at 10 a.m. Friday. A reception in the church undercroft will follow services. Burial will be in St. Mary Cemetery, Fort Mitchell. Memorials are suggested to Redwood School and Rehabilitation Center, 71 Orphanage Road, Fort Mitchell, Ky. 41017; St. Joseph Church Endowment Fund, 2470 Lorraine Court, Crescent Springs, Ky. 41017; or Madonna Manor, 2344 Amsterdam Road, Villa Hills, Ky. 41017. Linnemann Funeral Home, Erlanger, is handling arrangements.
