Not sure what to say?

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Rest in Peace, Geddes.

As a competitor in the Cadet world Queens Royal College which I attended versus Belmont Boys, we were no match for them. Cpl Geddes and Sgt Edward exemplified themselves. Edward and myself are retired USAF Military Senior NCOs. According to H.W. Longfellow "Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." Rest in peace my brother.

Greddis Geddes Ian Forbes was a "brother" to my husband Wentworth and me. Always there to support us in so many ways that mattered. We are truly glad that we grew with him over the many years; always positive, always gentle and especially always there. We will miss him and just sorry that he left so quick. We remain with unforgettable remembrances of our times together. You loved US - as we loved YOU!!! Looking great in October 2024

Rest in heavenly peace!

I first met Geddes more than 40 years ago through my now deceased husband, Rawle Purcell! Geddes stood out as a very loyal friend who celebrated many milestones with my family over the years. He was well loved and respected by my parents, siblings and children. He kept in touch with the family over all the years through the good and bad times and I he will be missed by all of us. Condolences to his family and loved ones during this sad time.
