I am sorry for your loss. I just found 2 of Geoff's cards (with his notes) in a shop in Utrecht, the Netherlands. He sounds like a special person. I presume the family will have similar cards already, but if of interest please get in touch.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Geoff. I worked with Geoff at Crane Duplicating Company in West Barnstable for a number of years. My husband Dennis and I enjoyed Geoff & Jackie's company for dinner a few times and we always enjoyed receiving Geoff's cards. Our prayers and good wishes go out to you & your family. He was a very kind & interesting man.

To the Mawby Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Margie, I was saddened by yoyr news. I knew your Dad for 40+ years as he helped give A. Horowitz & Sons lots of work as well as being a great friend of Henry & Zelda. He also helped me get into Summit Frame where I have sold art as well! I wish you had listed some of his war medals & honors in the obit. My sincere condolences to you & your family. I will miss his Xmas cards (& custom stamps!). Elizabeth ( Betsy) Horowitz.
