Geoff was my tutor at St Paul’s College 1963 to 1966. He was loved by all of us in those years. An excellent tutor with a wonderful sense of humour. Totally reliable and very, very funny. Last year I was in Guernsey and visited a bike shop where the owner began to tell me about his participation in the Island Games. He was astonished when I told him the man who launched it was Geoff, my tutor. I was indeed very lucky to know him. Thank you Geoff. Tony Taylor
