Such a pleasure to have been involved with Geoff at Wellington Sea Rescue and later Wellington Volunteer Coastguard, as crew, skipper and committee.
Geoff was SO dedicated to everything Coastguard.
Sincere condolences to Marg, a talented musical person that entertained with her talents.
Thanks Geoff. RIP.

You were such an important part of our Coastguard journey Geoff. Our skipper, mentor, and friend.
We are so grateful for all that you taught us. Your guidance, commitment, and stories will be fondly remembered, and you will be missed.


Your legacy will live on in the people you taught, the crews you led, and the lives you helped keep safe.
