To my dear friend, you touched so many people with your smile, humor and the occasional kick in the pants. I will miss you my brother and wish you save me a seat at Fiddler's Green, where I know you and King are running court. My sincere condolences to your family.

Thank you so, Geoff, for all that you did and were, for my Uncle Ed and other relatives who served, but especially for Ed, therefore my family, and also for me at times throughout the years. I celebrate all the back and forth good, with much gratitude for all that and I have many happy memories, including so much laughter and fun shared like a couple of kids full of mischief, up to brattyness. I'll remember everything, you, always.
My condolences and heart goes out to all of you, especially to Geoff, and to you, Geoff's immediate family and closest friends, for your loss.

Grace (chippy)It has been a very long time, I am saddend by your loss. I believe that God is selective in times such as this. There is a reason, it is not for us to know. May it be that a better place of divine peace has been given.We are not the receipiants but for the one that has received. May this knowledge make your loss easier to accept. God Bless & allow understanding. Sincerly Bob Martine.

Dear Grace:
My condolence on Goeff's passing. May God's peace abide in the hearts of his two lovely children and in yours, and may the passing of time keep strong the fondest memories of all your lives together.
Lovingly, Brunhilde.

To paraphraise Abraham Lincoln. Do not despair that a man like him has died, rejoice that men like him live.
One of the remarkable benefits of the internet is that communities of likeminded individuals find each other and advance their shared interests. Geoff's internet forum was one such community. Thank you and farewell.

In memory of a man who knew what he stood for and never compromised in his fight what what he believed was right. May Gdo comfort his family and bring some good from their loss.

Deepest condolonces to his family Geoff was an excellent man who once made my old Dad feel special by allowing him to recount his days with the RASC and his many adventures during the war.
Geoff was attentive and enthusiastic which made one old veteran feel appreciated. I hope everyone understands what kind of man Geoff really was and that his legacy will live on through the years.

My sincerest condolences to Geoof's family and friends. And Geoff - thanks for all you've done.

It is a shock to learn of Geoffrey's passing. It is difficult to accept when one is so relatively young. I know as my son Collin was 54. I am unable to attend the reception but shall be there in thoughts and spirit.
My sincere condolences to all of the family. John Finn
