Messages Of Condolence

We were very saddened to hear of Geoff’s passing.
Along with his lovely wife Margaret he was a wonderful fun loving friend.
Over the many years we have known him we spent many happy hours together, playing badminton, having supper and playing endless silly games. For over twenty years our Christmas visit to Cenre Parcs was one of the highlights of the year, followed by many memorable New Years Eve celebrations. His long rambling walks were legendary almost never completed until it went dark. We learned very quickly it was best to take a torch.
Following our emigration to Australia he kept in touch regularly regaling us with tales of the old country.
We will always remember the happy times we had together and will miss him more than words can say.
Sending our condolences and love to all the family.

Very shocked and sorry to hear the news, sincere condolences to Margaret and all the family. Always enjoyed my visits to see Geoff and Margaret, lovely couple. Geoff also insisted I had first choice of the biscuits and plenty of coffee refills! With best wishes, Mark South

Really sorry to hear this news, a few of us from the old textiles dept. were remembering Geoff only recently, he will not be forgotten. A really genuine man, a pleasure to have known him. Sincere condolences to all the family.

I was very sorry to hear of Geoff's passing. I had the privilege of working with him at Hinckley college. He was a wonderful lecturer and an inspiration to students and colleagues alike. We shared many laughs and good times in the staff room and I will always remember him as a kind, funny and genuinely lovely man. It was a pleasure to have known him. My sincere condolences at this time. Sadly I cannot attend the funeral but I will be thinking of you all.
