Fond memories of Mr. Bales, my 1st ever boss, at the CBC Bank, a kind & caring man. And amusing memories of Geoff, oblivious to the time, spending hours up a ladder in the new Clubhouse at LCYC, only for it to blow down years later! Sincere condolences to Lyn & family on the loss of a true gentleman.

Geoff was a valued and respected friend from our 1952 Sun Youth Travel days through contact in several country towns over the years. I recall his dry sense of humour and perspective on life.
