ShotMagnet Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Echoing something Sally Ann wrote to me: 'He was one of a kind...' No argument from me. Good on you, sir. And thanks, from someone who considered you a good friend. Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Redmon Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 This news is almost too hard to take. Even though we met only once at the first I&I, I've always considered him a friend. He has hosted my web site, from its debut, for over ten years at a very nominal cost because he was more interested in getting the information out than making a profit. Goodbye Geoff. They broke the mold. Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Estes Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 A great guy, with an equally great heart. I was just getting to know you, Goeff, and I already owe you much. Fare thee well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasidas Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Seems so unfair we can easily find so many trolls and not enough guys like Geoff in the world. RIP. Condolences to his family. Tank-net will not be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1a1mg Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Damn. A true shame. His presence will certainly be missed. I always thought of him as the voice of reason when others lost theirs. I always took to heart his lessons for me. God bless you and keep you Geoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittite Under The Bridge Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Wow. I feel as if I've been punched in the gut. I spent many hours on the phone with Geoff over the years.

Michael Eastes Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I spoke to him, I guess, three weeks ago, after he had moved to the farm. It seemed that he had turned a corner, and that things were looking up. My aunt sent me a poem this week. It spoke to me. I hope that you folks will also find it appropriate, in this year of losses. The Silent Sadness I always wonderedWhy the old onesStood so quietly,Showing no emotionAt a loved one's funeral,Except perhapsA slow sway of the head;While all about themWere the soundsOf intermittent sobbing. How could theyBe so stoic, so unfeeling,I questioned silently. Now, having grown old myself,I understand. There is a sadnessThat constricts the heart--A loss, another's absence,Still yet another's leaving...So many loved ones gone. Ah, yes, I've come to know,This silent sadnessPlunges much, much deeper--Far, far beyondThe deepest depthOf tears. June Brown LeapPoetry Society of Texas, 2010 R.I.P., my friend. You left us too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeOne Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 God bloody damn. I had a bad feeling from the SITREPs on his status. Still, some shitty news to see first thing when you log into TankNet in the morning. RIP. This has been a bad year, despite the great Seattle I&I. I wish he would have made it there so we could have met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Never mind, just me being stupid and drunk. And wishing I could take it all away or make it better. For what it's worth Geoff, I never EVER drink spirits, but I and my bartender had shots of Glenlivet tonight to your memory.
