It is with great sadness that on Saturday August 05th 2023, Geoff lost his valiant fight with cancer just after his 64th birthday.

Geoff possessed a strong character, was intelligent, had a quick wit, and lived life on his own terms. He was a wonderful provider for Nancy and Greg.
Athletic throughout his life whether it was track and field, basketball or hockey he excelled at each. An avid golfer; his first hole in one came at his lucky #7 hole.
However, it was fishing with his son that gave Geoff the most joy.
