Hi all,

Sadly, it falls on me to bring you the following:
Hello Nick,

I'm sending you this Email because last evening Geoff passed away, the last fortnight I have been caring for him night and day which was his wish and my privilege. He loved the KUMB site and enjoyed many a banter with other members. The Hammers as you know was his life well except for his children an me.. I hope 😊, and as you know he has spread the word through the family. I even have a flower pot that I have turn round with a smiley face if we win and shall continue to do so.
I've not added this to his Farewell fellow Kumbers thread, as a man as brave as this deserves his very own send off from the fine members here, and hopefully Carol, his wife, will be able to get on here and see this and the messages of fondness at the top of the board, and know just what a fine man Geoff was and the esteem in which he was held around these parts.

Let's hope The Mighty Irons can do him proud on Thursday night.

RIP Geoff my friend, you'll be sorely missed.

That thread he created was an astounding read.

The way he faced up to his mortality was incredible and inspiring. A positive mental attitude we could all learn something from. I daresay he was a better man than I.

RIP to a KUMB legend.
