Geoffrey died peacefully on 1st January 2024 at the age of 95 after a long and happy life.
We would welcome donations in his memory to Action Medical Research which is a charity where Maureen volunteered - they sent her to a Buckingham Palace Garden Party which made Dad very proud. They do wonderful work in research to help sick and disabled babies and children.

Geoffrey was the much-loved husband of Maureen, a wonderful father to Susan, Michael and Jonathan and adored grandad of Matthew, Nicholas, Alice, Elizabeth and Katy. Later on in his life he became an ‘extra’ grandad to Hayley, Catherine and Ted. His kindness as a father-in-law was very important to Mike, Hilary, Deborah and Georgina. At the age of 90 he welcomed his first great-grandchild Ruben who was followed by Finley, Amber and Freya – like Maureen he always loved children so this was very special.
Geoffrey had a very successful career on the Stock Exchange, loved music, opera, wine and eating out and spent many years studying naval and military history which was his passion. He was a true gentleman, unfailingly cheerful and had a gift for making friends throughout his long life.
