Geoff -- I've played with a lot of musicians in my day, but you were definitely one of the most talented, funny and intelligent ones by far. I'll never forget the road trips and gigs, your place up in the Hollywood Hills, and our mutual love of sci-fi and board games. Thanks for all of the great memories. You were a good man. I'm so sorry we weren't able to meet up again before your passing. Too damn young.
Rock on, brother!

Oh Geoff, I'm so sad to see you go my brother. You were an influence on me since the 70's when I would sneak into the bars to watch you play. Several years later we met by accident and I was able to join you on stage for a couple of years. You intoduced me to your great family and your sister whom I almost married, and shared with me your bad humor! It seems there is nobody around to teach me guitar anymore, thus the best I can do is to turn around and teach others the chords & songs you taught me. So ya see, you're still right here. Every time I pick up my Takamine I get a little help from you. Honest Abe. I'll see you soon my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out every day to your mother, sister and brothers and all of their families. God bless. Steve

Geoff -- I miss you already. It will be pretty hard for me to get through this holiday season without hearing you play the Grinch song on your guitar. I have already heard it a few times on the radio and it makes me pretty sad to know I won't hear you sing it again.
You are in my prayers and I hope you and Steve are looking down on the family and helping us get through this tough time. Love you! Miss u!

My dearest son: I will miss you, and look forward to seeing you and Stephen when I come home to be with Jesus. You were so musically talented, and I loved to hear you play. I remember when you were young and just learning to play the guitar. You always had such a great imagiation. I love you so much, my darling boy.
love, mom
