Geoff,
Thanks couldn't begin to say how much you helped me when I needed it most. You took the time to reach out to me and it worked and I'm better for it. Rest easy old friend. Regards

Thank you and Goodbye
Back in the later years of last century, I decided to create a website dedicated to the wonderful Canadian Military Pattern trucks.
It was a struggle as there was little about them online and I did not have a lot of access to paper publications about them here in rural Western Australia. So I put out a call for help on the the old Mil-Veh @ skylee forum hoping that among all those Jeep enthusiasts on there, there might be at least one person who not only knew what a CMP was but would be able to help me out. There was such a person. The very first reply I got was from a Geoff Winnington - Ball. He was a kindred spirit with a great interest and appreciation of the CMP. And he was only to happy to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with a neophyte from down under. Geoff sent me untold amounts of information both electronically and via the snail mail. He would proof read everything I posted online and would email me constantly with corrections and suggestions. All with good humour and intelligent analysis. And through Geoff I have met many liked minded enthusiasts, both online and in person and have made life long friends from that group. Geoff, I never met you and I am poorer for that. But I do remember a long, informative and very funny telephone conversation many years ago and I will always cherish the help and guidance that you gave me I have always felt you were a mate in the true Aussie sense of the word and so I say, Thank you and Goodbye. May you rest in peace. Rod

Honoured
Have just learnt of Geoff's passing and want to say I was truly honoured to have been his friend. I will not forget his time over here with us especially when the search for his ancestors in St.Andrews turned up the very place where a photograph he had of them, had been taken. We took another one with Geoff in the same place.
See you later old friend, Nigel and Pam Watson Dundee, Scotland
