To Robyn and family, Geoff and I had many a lengthy conversation about our respective trades, he was a brilliant engineer, in my opinion world class, our last meeting was about the scale traction engine he was building for himself, the workmanship was beyond reproach, a credit to him. He really was a good bugger, will miss him heaps.
