  3. Geoff, you were a fine golfing companion, always keen. You donated a trophy to the National Left-Handers Championships. Your golfing tribute will never be forgotten.

  4. Phyllis and families, I was saddened to read of Geoff's sudden passing. He was a lovely sincere man .My late husband Murray had a lot to do with Geoff through Country rugby for many years. The wisdom he passed on and his gentleness was admired by Murray and he always made me part of the country family. He will be missed by the wider country rugby family and friends.Phyllis I guess like me you will have felt like a rugby widow sometimes but the friendships and memories made will always bring a smile and gratude for all he did .Thinking of you all Nell D
