Geoff seemed a quiet bloke but friendly and it was a pleasure to have met him.
RIP Geoff and condolences to your family and friends.3 -
Ex copper if I’m not mistaken.

Possibly because of the beard, I thought he was much older than he actually was and I was therefore a little surprised at his death cos I thought he was already dead! RIP.0
