[Pres] Geoff Howard

[Brenda Gould]

Dear Warwick and Sue

Such very sad news about dearest Geoff.

I have many fond happy memories of Geoff.  He would always call me wee Bren with his lovely smile and was one of the calmest directors in Network.    I enjoyed hearing about his lovely trips to Scotland, especially his West Coast train trip.

It has been so very sad reading about Geoff’s  poor health over the years since returning home, but still he proved to be his determined self, moving to a very smart retirement home.  

I can still hear his lovely voice and cheeky laugh.   Yes Warwick, a true loss.

Thoughts are with you, Sue and Holly.

Geoff had been on a complicated medical journey over the past few years and died in his relatively new home at the Belrose Country Club from a stroke whilst waiting for a taxi to take him to dialysis.  No funeral date has yet been set.
