Dear Hill Family, I was deeply saddened to find out about Geoff's passing. I moved to Atlanta several years ago and just learned about Geoff's transition this past weekend. I was able to see Geoff as both physican and athlete. We sweated along side each other for many miles while out on training rides. I also saw him as a patient and am grateful he was my doctor. I hold Geoff with the highest regard and am thankful to have known him. I am so sorry for your loss and that this is so belated.

To the entire Hill family, my mother God rest her soul, suffered for many years with Crohns disease. She met Dr. Hill in 1978 and was his patient till her death in 2004. She absolutely loved him and would never consider seeing anyone but him. He was as you know a wonderful Dr. and more so human being. The Lord got an angel, we had the pleasure of knowing here on earth. He was a true blessing, the Zabriskie/Caterino family

A more dedicated and qualified physician has never existed. He treated me, and all of his other patients as if they were the only ones he had and cared about. He was truly a trusted and friendly caregiver. He will be missed. I will pray for him and his family.

With My Deepest Respects,
John Champlain
