In loving memory of Geoffrey Gibbons who sadly passed away on 28th May 2019.

He leaves devoted wife Sue, Children Jayne and Matthew, Grandchildren, Bill, Henry, Jessica, Jake, Libby and Lauren.

Geoffrey was a lovely guy, real salt of the earth, with a heart of gold to match.
Everyone had time for Geoff.


His grit a determination through his toughest years fighting Cancer, have been an inspiration to us all!
Always positive and hopeful, still smiling even during his final days.
He was dealt a shite hand, but he made the most of it!
With Sue by his side he faced everything head on.


The Funeral procession will leave his home making its way to The Den, stopping for a moment in front of The Barry Kitchener Stand.
Then on along Surrey Canal Road, passing Cold Blow Lane. A special Journey for a special man.


Any Donations to St Christopher's Hospice, Sydenham would be much appreciated.

R.I.P Geoff Gibbons

Dad

Not a day goes by I don't think about you and what a great Dad you was.
I had a couple of pints with Tom Cole at the Caravan a couple of weeks ago and I never realised the positive effect you had everyone you knew, especially my friends.
Tom said "He was a great man" happy tears flowed with a hint of sadness.
What Sam wrote on here says it all really, and as for Lee he lost a dear friend.
I ain't seen Luke he's still in his room! Ha ha!
We did your ashes the other week Dad, finally after all this covid nonsense which you haven't missed! Trust me on that one.
I nice little turn out Dad, though it will never really be goodbye for me ever!
They say time heals, I hope so because right now my heart remains broken.

Love and miss you always
