My dearest Punit. It hurts my heart so much to write this. It’s no surprise by all the comments that you left a huge positive mark on many lives. You were by my side through so many firsts and milestones, always cheering me on and making me laugh and showing me REAL unconditional love. You were always there to listen, encourage, and always had a good story that made everyone laugh. Gentle, kind, sweet and generous, and boy did you love hard. Thank you for making me a better person Geoffrey, I love you. Rest in peace, until we meet again. Deepest condolences to Jack, Nonie and the whole family. He will be missed deeply.
The impact that Geoffrey Smith had on my life is truly one of a kind. I am a better person for having this man in my life and I am truly so blessed to have been apart of his life. Geoffey’s smile and laugh like were like no other. He lit up whatever room he entered. He was always incredibly thoughtful and kind to others around him. Geoffrey was there for many of my milestones growing up and those memories mean the world to me. Mr. Smith I love you so incredibly much.
My sincerest condolences to Jack and Nonie and family. This man will be missed like no other. Xoxo infinity Punit.
He was a gentle soul and a good guy. My condolences to all his family
To Jack and your family, my deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers.
Smitty you were a good human, a good man, and a true friend. You were always there to help anybody even if you didn’t know them, as long as you believed it was the thing to do. You knew how to pick someone when they were down, and always found a way to find the bright side when things were bleak.
Love you buddy, you will be missed but always in my thoughts
I had the privilege of meeting Geoff in 2004 and without knowing it at the time, both Geoff and Jack became an instrumental influence in my life and taught me self confidence in an industry i was very new in. Geoff was my work partner for 3 years and a very dear friend who had a big heart and a kind soul. Geoff always looked at things on the bright side and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Geoff had the best jokes and his sense of humour was so infectious , you couldn’t help but laugh along side of him. My fondest memory of Geoff was on a vacation to Mexico and out on a fishing boat with hopes of snagging a big one. With all of us sea sick except for Smitty who was unfazed, reeled in the biggest sailfish of the day !! The look of excitement and joy on his face will stay with me forever. I will miss my friend dearly. Rest in Peace Smitty and i hope to see you again in the next life 👊🏻
It was a sad day when we received the news about Geoff’s passing.
I’m a school chum of Geoff’s. we both had a passion for fast cars, his was faster. Every time I see a Z28 I think of Geoff. I was hoping to reconnect in our retirement world! A good friend Tim Quadrelli shared the news of Geoffs passing. Sorry we are unable to make the service. Our deepest condolences to family and friends. Kevin & Norma Will
