My beloved dad Geoff passed away on 13th October at the grand age of 85! Im aware he was a well known, big character in the local area where he lived on Patterns Lane. There are many of you I've never had the pleasure of meeting and I'm sure you all have your stories, memories, pictures, naughty tales, etc! Please use the memorial page to share anything you would like to remember my one in a million dad, Geoff!

We could sit and write a book about Geoff, but we have attempted to narrow it down to a few chosen stories and memories from over the years. He was one of a kind - funny and caring, and would always say “thank you for being my friend” when you visited him. Birthday cards were always accompanied by little doodles of himself, often with money taped inside (which we sneakily gave back to him in the form of a bottle of his favourite red wine at Christmas!) Geoff was good at repairing lots of things for us over the years - every time something broke, he would say “bring it up”, he could fix anything and everything and enjoyed being useful. Sue once had a wooden seagull ornament and the head had fallen off. Geoff offered to fix it but when it returned, it had been transformed and painted black and grey because he insisted it was a tern and not in fact a seagull. Talking of birds, Geoff was a self-confessed magpie and loved nothing more than rummaging in a skip. He took great delight at being called a Womble because he was always going around collecting rubbish that people had thrown out, sitting with his binoculars waiting for someone to dispose of something that he could take up to his flat and transform, with the hope of making a profit. Anyone who ever went in his flat will know it was a treasure trove of things that were “worth a lot of money” according to Geoff (but no one else!) He was a really kind man, and despite not being well-off himself, he hated to see people struggling. Once there was a woman who used to walk past his flat who told him she was terribly poor and needed money. Geoff got out a loan for her, even though she was a stranger. This was typical of Geoff, he loved helping people. There are so many more things we could say about Geoff, he will be greatly missed, especially by the Co-Op on Pattens Lane, which is probably going to have to close down now he is gone! Goodbye Geoff - thank you for being our friend. Love from Sue and Laura xxx

I am so sorry for your loss. I was Geoff's opposite neighbour for many years, and he was one in million. After my husband died, he used to leave me food in my porch, then ring me to tell me it was there. When I broke my ankle, he did shopping for me. And - kept me updated on all the comings and goings of the neighbours! After I moved, we kept in contact fairly regularly, and I only spoke to him a few weeks ago.....he said he wasn't feeling great, but was his usual, funny, self. I will miss him, and his stories so much. With Love Sue Xxx
