The obituary notice of Geoffrey Grant BYARD

Hi, Geoffrey
Christmas again and time to remember you and the fun and games we had as young men. We were lucky to survive some of them (motor-bikes mostly), but we did. Sad we lost touch when I was away working in Finland for three years. Memories still vivid as you always were a larger than life character.
All the best
Ray Chatwin (Dr)

Always remembered, Geoff.
All the best
Ray Chatwin

Hi, Geoffrey
Christmas again. Anyone who wants to know what you were like when you were 18 should watch Lindsay Anderson's film, 'If...' and follow the main character, Travis played by Malcom McDowell. It's you to a 't'.
All the best
Ray Chatwin

Here we are again, Geoff. A year on and you're still remembered. I wonder what happened to that dismantled MV Augusta 175 engine you had in your shed? We had great fun with motor bikes, including a ride to Banbury when the bike we were riding broke down and my dad had to come and rescue us. Happy days. All the best, Ray

Geoff and I were good friends together at Shirley Heath and at Tudor Grange - along with Ray Chatwin, Bill Ronnie, Peter Jones, Robert Walker and others. I left Shirley around the end of our first year at Tudor Grange and always wanted to meet up again. From time to time I've searched on line but have only recently found this tribute. Sorry we didn't manage to meet up Geoff. Always remembered.
