I have met Geoff and his wife, and he will be greatly missed.  The Military Vehicle forums, Maple Leaf Up (MLU) and TankNet, that he partook in and the Military Vehicle associations that he circulated have lost a great supporter. 

Zephyr ON has lost a fine citizen.

My condolances to Geoff's family and friends.
