  3. Sincere condolences to Lynne & family

    So sad to lose such a key member of the old school group. A very dear longtime friend who very much enjoyed the camaraderie of his mates and always loved a practical joke.
    Geoff’s passing will certainly leave a hole in the wall wherein the mortar of old school friendships proudly held it all together!

    Thank you so much for the memories, mate!

    RIP Geoffrey Reginald⚘️

  14. Our love to Lynne and family at this sad time.
    Geoff’s passing brings back so many happy memories beginning at Leongatha Primary School, and of some notable extracurricular exploits too! A town lad who went dairy farming. Fortunate to marry Lynne in May 1969. Theirs was one of the better managed dairy farms in South Gippsland. He will be missed.
