Geoffrey was a very intelligent man who obtained a BA from York University. He retired from a successful business as an Engineering Consultant. Geoffrey enjoyed travel, golf, skiing, and sailing, and he was a voracious reader with a deep curiosity about the world. Above all else, he devoted his time and heart to making his wife, Cecile, feel that she was the most important person in his life—a role she held without question.
Geoffrey was known for his warmth, loyalty, and the genuine care he showed to those he loved. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
