Our deepest sympathy to Sarah, Matt and Chris and families on the sudden passing of Geoff. Words are do inadequate at this sad time, We are so happy that we meet Geoff on many occasions at Chris and Nicole’s home as well as him spending Christmas with all of Nicole’s family.
Geoff was a thorough gentleman, brave enough to eat Indian food, great company, softly spoken, friendly and who loved to share his progress with fixing his car. Geoff will be sadly missed by all who knew him, especially his kids. RIP Geoff. You will be missed but forever live on in the memories of children, families and friends.

Sending my deepest sympathies and thoughts to of all my immediate and extended O’Leary family, all of my dad’s friends and everyone that knew my dad. This was an unexpected shock for all of us and is hard on everyone. He was a much loved man by so many, making mates wherever he went, including his new home of Castlemaine, where he had been living his best life getting his the Pontiac finished off. Life is so unfair sometimes. There are so many wonderful memories and funny moments. He was an easy going and happy man who loved a chat, a laugh and a beer. But most of all his beloved Pontiac. Gone way too soon. Will be very sadly missed.
