My memories of Geoff
From Gwen McDonald Halabisky
I remember Geoff, the very cute child, who was a cuddly teddy bear.
I remember Geoff, the practical and cooperative teenager, who took it upon himself to fix up the Higgin’s basement after it was flooded by a sewer back up.
He carried many gallons of water up the stairs as Vicki and Lesley sucked it up with my wet-dry vacuum. After a discussion with his sisters the executive decision was made to rip the contaminated rug up and hall it out. Because much mitigation was done, the insurance adjuster was impressed.
A couple days later Vi asked me if I would give him some tips on doing drywall work as Geoff wanted to take on the re-building. Geoff was a quick study and did a wonderful job of not just re-doing the walls.
I remember Geoff, the considerate young man who always gave me a “Brian” hug when we were together at a function. (He knew I was missing Brian who had moved to the States.
I remember Geoff as the proud and protective father of Gavin and Olivia.
Geoff had many roles…a loving and much loved son, brother, father, friend and community member.
He and those who were close to him will be in my thoughts; we are all better people for having known him.
