James M. Greer, 74, of Huntsville, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016, in Logan Acres Care Center.
He was born in Logan County on Sept. 3, 1942, the son of the late Ernest R. and Leota Fern Kauffman Greer.
On Feb. 14, 1965, he married Sharon “Sherry” Berry in West Liberty, and she survives along with his two sisters, Valeda Wentz and Bonnie (James) Faber, a nephew, Doug (Catherine) Faber and a great-nephew, Justin Faber, all of Leesburg, Fla., and close friends, Don and Karla Stevens of Bellefontaine.
Jim began working at Wolfheim’s Clothing Store part time while still in school. After graduating, he served in the U.S. National Guard. He purchased Huber’s and later purchased Buchenroth’s, combining the two clothing stores into Huber-Buchenroth’s, which he owned and operated for many years in Bellefontaine. He was well-known for his personable service and genuine care for all who entered.
A favorite pastime of Jim and Sherry was traveling in their RV across the country.
He had a passion for music that began at a young age along with his sisters. That same passion carried through later to his band, Jim Greer & the Mac-O-Chee Valley Folks.
