Sorry to hear of Geoff´s passing. Spent a lot of hrs with the honey and around the museum as a child when we would visit with dad Graeme. A lot of great tales, meals and honey to be had. Condolences on behalf of Graeme.

Robyn and family. I'm very sorry to hear of Geoff's passing. I have smiled often over the past few days, thinking back to Geoff's foraging trips to the West Coast, Sth Island. The anticipation of the hunt at the planning sessions around our kitchen table in Kumara and the excitement of each discovery, no matter how large or small - to the extent that Geoff had to buy Dad's Ford truck one trip to carry all of the treasures home ;-) ... and then there night the roof blew off the Old Post Office across the road and landed on the caravan.
Our thoughts are with you!

Remembering Geoff and our deerstalking trip to South Island back in the 60s. Caught up with him at his museum a few times too. Condolences from Lyall and Cabby Keyte, Te Miro
