I am deeply distressed by Geoff's sudden passing which only underscores how generous he was to everyone in freely sharing with each person his most valuable and limited asset, his time and patience. He always gave this away freely and without reservation, always trying to help you solve an issue or answer your questions (even if they didn't make much sense) because of your lack of familiarity with its technical context and subject matter. His patience and kindness with my ignorance and demands on his time were traits grounded in his generous, giving nature. I was enriched by knowing him and am equally diminished by his passing. I am grateful for the privilege of having known him and sharing his goodness and kindness. When I remember him, I smile with my heart and share his warm, good nature once again. Kindness is never lost; it is always remembered. Savery Gradoville - Steptoe (1998 - 2009).
