    To Geff’s family: Our deepest condolences to all. We were ever so grateful to Geff and Baxter who shovelled all day after a severe winter storm to clean up after we were accidentally ploughed in instead of ploughed out.
    He will be remembered for his genuine kindness.

    I had the pleasure of growing up in the same garden with this kind soul. He was more like a kid brother to me than a cousin. We played together and I was his favourite babysitter he said as I would let him stay up all night 🥹. I’m so grateful that we reconnected only a couple of weeks ago and shared a few memories, laughs and pictures of us together as children back in the day. Little did I know how meaningful it would become. Like everyone else, having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that he’s gone. Rest easy, sweetheart. I hope you’re with loved ones who’ve previously passed. Thanks for the memories and laughs shared. Glad you graced my life…I will never forget you. This truly hurts my heart. My deepest condolences to his family. My heart breaks for you all. He was one of a kind 💐.

    I love you so much dad. I can’t find any words I just love you. I was looking forward to that hug I desperately needed when I got to see you this Friday. I’d do anything to have that hug right now. One more game of monopoly, wine more debate about the space time continuum, one more boil up, and just one more chance to tell you that no matter where you were in life I was so proud of you and you were the best dad I could’ve ever asked for. I need you❤️

    Where do I start! Geff you will be missed by many! My heart hurts for our girls and the rest of the family. Our last conversation was about how excited you were to be a grandfather. You were just bursting with pride that you were going to finally have your boy! Just know we will all do our best to keep your memories alive and our grandson will know all about you.
