Hello guys,
I thought you may be interested to know the sad news that our friend Chippygeoff sadly passed away on September 8th.
I spoke to Geoff on the 1st and he was remaining optimistic about his treatment but struggling with the pain and I then heard nothing more from him, so checked his business page on Facebook this weekend for any activity.
Unfortunately the following message was there:
With sadness, we'd like to share that after a brief battle with stage 4 lung cancer, our father passed away on the 8th September at Prince Phillip Hospital. For those who would like to attend, the funeral will be held in Llanelli crematorium on Wednesday, 20th September at 11:00 with the reception in the Diplomat hotel, Llanelli at 11:45. Matt and Jen
There are some messages on his page for his family so should you wish to add to these here is the link:

Geoff was an incredibly helpful person who, I know, helped out many on these forums with his exceptional knowledge and advice. He certainly helped me out enormously when I first started with the scxrollsaw and this was invaluable.
Many of you sent him your best wishes when he announced that he was giving up his hobby due to his illness and I know that you will miss him as much as I will.
God bless you Geoff, you were one of life's true gentlemen.
