Rest In Peace, Geoff Winnington-Ball

This came up on a Facebook memory for me today. 12 years since Geoff passed away.

It’s so nice to the see the forum he cherished and the hobby he supported is still going strong.

Don't be in such a rush, it was only 11 years ago.

The forum is not only continuing strong as ever, but in the same spirit and tone that Geoff established it with ( : ), despite the absence of his controlling hand. Maybe he is still playing his part?

OMG...has it been that long? How well I remember that day.(See post #1).

Geoff used to visit me at least once a year, up here near Georgian Bay area; he would bring me a Canadian Red Ensign,(with the proper coloured leaves); I kept an old military engraved ash tray for him to stub out his butts; we fed him good ol' meat an' taters for which he thanket us.

But there was a troubling side of him that led to his downfall. I need not expound on that, but for that he would still been around.

I miss him terribly, we had awesome discussions, arguments (in the purest sense of the word) about worldly events. I gave him merry hell for what happened with him in Australia as I was speaking with Max Hedges. Sorry, guys, I tend to ramble about the great times I had with"Jif".

I knew Jif since we were pups. Good times were had by all. Well, except for that one time his wife caught us feeding his toddler son juice from a beer bottle....at which point said toddler looked at mom, grinned, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and declared "I druk!!"

What a group we were at one time...Bruce, Geoff, myself, Brian (BCA), Zdneck (Wo ist mein Kaffee?,) Frank (Polskie Ogorkie.), Nick Webb, ex RSM-R Regt C-RIP_, Frank von Rosenstiel aka "Boxhead", Bob Bundy, Ted Dentay, and Ross Williams who Bruce Parker just jolted my memory about.
