I am very sorry to have to break the news that Geoff Stone, our former treasurer, died on Friday. Apparently he went in for a check-up scan a couple of weeks ago to find that the cancer he had recently been treated for had returned and spread. Geoff went into hospital on Tuesday and actually died quite suddenly yesterday. As soon as we have news about the funeral arrangements we'll let you know, but I am sure his friends and colleagues at the SoG will join me in passing condolences on to his family. Geoff was a great friend and excellent company and will be sorely missed.

That is very sad news indeed. Geoff did so much for us all, particularly on this mailing list. I send my condolences to his family.

Such sad news! Geoff was a good friend of mine from our old CompuServe days where we found we both had the same (warped?) sense of humour. We will all miss him greatly.

Sad news indeed.   Geoff took over as Treasurer at a difficult time and helped pull the Society through a very sticky patch.   On a persoanl level, I shalll always remember his cheerful company at our post-committee suppers in that Italian Restaurant in Goswell Road.   God bless him   Jim Willerton
