Geoff,my friend..
Geoff was my friend..
He first contacted me when he set up the MLU web site and his son and I were the first ones to post on the MLU forum...That was many years and memories of good times and :"Gather up's" ago.. My condolences go out to his family.. I believe Winston Churchill once compared all our lives to candles.. We all burn with a bright flame,some brighter than others but we all also eventually go out.. But it is the stub of the candle that is left for others ..some big..some little stubs.. Jif's flame was among the brightest and the stub he left for us,very big... and will go on in his memory in MLU forever. RIP ,Trooper. Alex Blair and Family Ottawa

Sad Day
This is indeed a sad day for Geoff’s immediate family and my thoughts are with them.
It is also a sad day for the MLU family that he created and then nurtured to maturity. The MLU forum is an internationally acknowledged source of information and knowledge not only on the CMP truck but also on Canada’s contribution to world freedom. I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff on several occasions when he visited the UK, I shall long treasure our discussions over the finer points of CMP restoration the world and everything while washing the dust of the show field away with a few beers. I would like to think the trucks and carriers that have been restored around the world as a direct result of the help and fellowship provided by MLU is a fitting and lasting tribute to Geoff. Gone but not forgotten Pete

I was very sad to hear that Geoff has passed away. Condolences to his family and friends.
He has left a legacy in the form of MLU and can be content with the fact that it has joined a great many people together from all corners of the World, with similar interests. R.I.P. Geoff
