In Geoff’s words “I have had a great life and a wonderful wife to support me in all my undertakings. I am so proud of our family especially the way they support each other and the way our grandchildren get on so well together. All my life I have been privileged to have travelled widely and to have worked in so many countries. I have lived a full and enjoyable life. One could ask for nothing more.”
