Dear Dad,

You wouldn’t ever let us fall; you always lifted us up even when you needed lifting. You cared, even when you needed care. You’d make us smile when you needed a smile. You’ve given us courage and strength when we’ve needed it most. You’ve been a best friend, an inspiration, our rock. Most of all you have been the greatest dad. We love you so much and we will miss you. You will always be our star.

Love Oscar, Hugh, Marcie and Willa.

Loved and loving husband of Kathy.

My friend and counsel. We have shared so much, and never lost sight of each other, nor what it means to be a family. The boys and I know you will be looking over us still.

“Love is something eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence” Vincent Van Goh

Forever, Kathy

Tributes

  1. In Loving Memory of Geoff (Grug – Hibbity)

    With a heart full of love and a spirit of humor, Geoff touched the lives of all who knew him. From the moment Peckie and I were welcomed into his home, we experienced his warmth and playful nature. Geoff’s laughter was infectious, and we cherished every moment spent with him. Even when separated , he never failed to send loving messages or make heartfelt phone calls on our birthdays and special occasions.

    My dear dad and Geoff were inseparable, and I know he deeply missed their bond. As Geoff embarks on his journey beyond, I have no doubt that he’ll reunite with my dad, picking up right where they left off, creating more cherished memories together.

    Though our hearts grieve his absence, we find comfort in the lasting love and joy he brought into our lives. Geoff’s laughter and love will forever echo in our hearts, reminding us of the beautiful soul we were blessed to know.

    May he rest in eternal peace

    We will always love you Geoff,

    Glenn ( Babbie ) , Allison (Peckie) Grace (little Peckie) Harvey ( Little Babbie)

    XOXOXOXOX
