Farewell, dear brother! What joy we had growing up, listening to Cilla Black on the transistor radio that you secreted under your bedcovers, later the Concert for Bangladesh when I was babysitting for you and Paula. Now, by the grace of God, you are reunited with your true love.

Very sad to hear of Geoff’s passing. He was a man of deep thoughts, emotions, and so much warmth and compassion for others, a true one-of-kind. We met during Christmas carols practice sessions, in his and his lovely Paula’s flat above the Wine Merchants. He read widely about faith and religious matters, and liked nothing better than a good debate, except of course for his beloved Paula and the family, who were his treasures. I won’t be able to attend Geoff’s funeral, but offer my sincere condolences to all the family.
