To Geoff’s family we send our condolences.
Geoff was a wonderful man, maintaining the whole South Warrnambool football area across many years to become the face of The Friendlies. Funnel and Geoff shared so many great conversations about their beloved Roosters over their years at South.
Geoff, continue to look down on your big back yard, The Friendlies, from above.

Memories of all the times my father, Jack would talk about Geoff being such a great help to him at South. In so many ways, big and small, he was always reliable and did it with a smile.
Looking after "his" ground gave him great pride and pleasure.

Geoff, together with Vera has always been part of our lives, of course as our uncle and also our neighbour.
To Leigh, Lynn, Stephen, Michael, and Fiona we are thinking of you all. Your dad lived a long life and you will miss him always being there.
Stephen, you did a great job looking after him in his later years which kept him living happily in his own home.
