I'm afraid I never met Geoff and my communication with him was limited to an exchange of emails earlier this year. I was struck at that time by his perception and sense of decency, as well as the trouble he took to respond to my enquiry; one which could have been easily dismissed.
No doubt much of the success of MLU is due to this wisdom and ability to manage sometimes difficult personalities. Something we would all do well to emulate. I have the impression that he was a modest man and reading here that he felt he was born "a generation too late", I can't help thinking that he was probably one of those whose character brings them to the front in wartime, when the service of a cause brings out a determination that the pursuit of mere personal ambitions does not in that more selfless type of person. I hope he is with those whom he admired.

I just read the news of Geoffs passing today.
Without MLU I would not have known all you wonderful people nor the passion we all share. For that I am very grateful. I am so sad to see Geoff pass. I feel very mortal. I don't know what to say. Who is taking on responsibility of the MLU website? Ian

I was floored when I heard the news. Never met Geoff, but we corresponded via email in the past. We've lost a good one....

RIP Friend
I've only just found out about Geoff, as I've been away from here for a few years. Had a good chat and a couple of beers when he came to the UK back in '04.
We've all lost a friend, and one of life's 'nice guys' has gone ahead of us.  GeoffRegards Dave

Like Dave, I only just learned of Geoff's passing. We had a little correspondence years ago, when I first found this forum, and I always found him to be very helpful and enthusiastic on the topics. I'm very sorry to learn of his passing.

A few pics of Geoff, recently posted on FB by Keith. Shared here as they disappeared from Keith's original posting - and because they are great photos of a great guy!
Can't believe it has been so long already since Geoff passed away. 33248951_10210361001815773_8098753816972754944_o.jpg 33339709_10210361000095730_3771640112396369920_o.jpg 33083907_10210351089727977_4414452830908186624_o.jpg Quote:
