Sad times but a great life lived to the full. Special thoughts with you Deb as you held your young family together during the early years of his illness and worked so hard to assist his recovery whilst still having a young family. Thinking of Geoff, rugby on McLean Street and now a great strong family heritage.

I worked with Geoff at CPHO until I left in 2014,he was one of my "pod mates".After this I often saw him at the CLM Lido.
Anyone who met him were fortunate to have known him as he was such a lovely kind and caring man who went out of his way to help you or to stop and see how things were going.The world was a better place for having him in it.
