As a Sergeant he participated in several major projects, including film documentary, "China Crisis", received a field commission to Lieutenant, and took part in 86 combat missions during World War II. He remained in the Army Reserves for 24 years, achieving the rank of Major.[2] In addition to his flight duties, he also worked as a newsreel cameraman during the war, and his experience in this job helped him secure a position in the special effects department at Warner Bros. after the war ended.{{citation needed|date=February 2017}} Film careerGeer subsequently worked at The Walt Disney Company from 1950 to 1955 in the special effects department.[3] Following his employment at Disney, Geer worked at a number of independent production companies before being brought back to Warner Bros. by producer William L. Hendricks in 1967, beginning a twenty-year association with Looney Tunes. Initially he served as the film editor (which, in the animation industry, means sound effects editor) on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, which lasted until 1969, when Warner Bros. ceased production of their theatrical shorts. However, Geer was retained in order to assist in production of The Bugs Bunny Show, and eventually elevated to co-producer of the show in 1975.[4] Following the retirement of Hendricks two years later, Geer took over his position and became the de facto head of the Looney Tunes series. In 1980, Warner Bros. officially re-established its cartoon studio as Warner Bros. Animation, with Geer installed as its first head. He was soon joined by veteran Looney Tunes director Friz Freleng, and together the two produced a number of compilation films and television specials, including The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie and 1001 Rabbit Tales. During his stewardship of the new animation studio, Geer spearheaded a campaign to give Bugs Bunny his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which was granted in 1985.[5] Later careerGeer retired from both Warner Bros. and the film industry in 1987, and subsequently took on a career of lecturing aboard cruise ships.[6] He turned 100 in September 2016[7] and died in January 2017 in Simi Valley, California.[8] References1. ^{{cite book|author1=Steven H.
