Dear Phil and family, your dear Geoff had an amazing innings, but was sad to hear he has passed. I was just a teenager when we lived in the Valley, but have fond memories of Geoff, Phil and all the family, on the farm, swimming in the rivers , you were like an extended family. Time marches on and we drifted apart, but was always so good to catch up when we did, my thoughts are with you all as you farewell Geoff and life is never quite the same when a family member is lost, remember the great times and how wonderful he was , love Jocelyn and Derek Wilson Te Anau
