Possessed of an adventuresome spirit, Geoffrey spent his working life in sales and trades.  The quality of all of his work was of a very high caliber.  He also studied at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, NB.  He loved people and animals both and rarely was without a furry companion at his side or curled up at his feet.  He lived in Bridgewater, NS and Fredericton but spent his last years in Dartmouth, NS.
