Geoff was one of my first bosses and certaintly one of the most memorable! Thanks for giving me the confidence to question the status quo and for all that red wine consumed over lunches! All my good thoughts go to Helen and the boys. Mary Stanley

I met Geoff in 1984. We developed a strong friendship built on mutual respect, a touch of irreverance and a liking for red wine and squash (not at the same time) - that's squash the game, not squash the vegetable. Sorry about the finger caught in the glass squash court door, Geoff. It was a great return. Helen, Sam, Max, David, Adam, my deepest sympathy. I am so sorry I only heard of Geoff's passing too late to attend the funeral. However, in the true spirit of GT, I had a good glass of red for the memories, and Susan and I will have a quiet lunch at the European in the forthcoming weeks to enjoy a sip of the European wines Geoff so enjoyed - to his memory. Good life well lived GT.

I remember and will always cherish happy times in January at Lorne with Geoff, Helen and boys. Bill C
