This one Barry ?

I also never met Geoff, however he has obviously touched many people through his life.
My thoughts to all his family and close friends.

Thanks Dirk. That is the photo I was looking for. For anyone who doesn't know the people in the photo, they are from left to right:
Hanno Spoelstra
Geoff
Dirk Leegwater
Brian Gough
Me
Stefan Leegwater
The photo was taken by Geoff's son Shawn

Carman has kindly sent me these 2 photos of Geoff and son Shawn taken in the cemetery where Carman's uncle was buried. He was murdered by the Germans. It shows a little of what the Winnington-Ball family was about. Father and son paying respects to a fallen soldier. The photo was taken by Hanno. Thanks for these Carman.
