    Terrific memories of a gentleman and friend.

    My association started in 1967 as a very young sales rep in the firearm trade and continued and strengthened until the late 80’s.

    A more enjoyable sales call could not be matched.

    Geoff, a great mate will be missed by all at my workshop.

    Your daily visit with Max for quick story or two will always be remembered. (there was many stories, not sure if any were exaggerated by too much….but you made them all believable).

    Tight lines mate and keep reeling in the big ones till we meet again.

    I’ll never forget you mate.
