Geoff, it really makes me so sad and angry to read your words. I wish you all the best in the world that you can fight everything thrown at you. We, the FSAE community, stand behind you. Stay strong!

Reading your post brings a tear to my eye Geoff.
Farewell from FSAE.com and good luck.
I will keep an eye on you in FB.
Hang in there and most of all, stay safe.

The trick is... There is no trick
Geoff,
You will be sorely missed, unless you take up my offer of coming over to the west. I am sure it is the Victorian absence of sun that causes half the problems.
This community and FSAE Oz will not be the same without you. You taught me that the alienated imaginative engineers would find friends and not just opponents in FSAE. That and you danced with my nan.

Geoff it has been a hell of a ride so far... We might not have met in person, but I consider you a friend and an inspiration! Keep on fighting BB!

Thanks Pat, Harry, MC, Julian, Kev - cheers for your well wishes. I'm doing fine, amusing myself by contemplating the flaws of the medical and mental health systems and writing "Reasoning your way through the psychoanalytical testing process"....

Design it. Build it. Break it.
After not having been around this forum a lot for some time as things where quite busy, I just read the latest posts of this thread.
It's kind of hard to find words after reading this. As someone wrote before, although we never met in person, I consider you a good friend with whome I had some incredible discussions over the years who brought new thoughts to me and widened my mind on a lot of things. Without you a huge gap is opened on this forum.
All I can do is send you my best wishes and hope the best for you.

Geoff,
I sent you an email (on "y7...").

Thanks Geoff for the effort you put into helping FSAE.
I have just been re-reading this thread today and you and the other contributors have created an invaluable resource for future engineers and FSAE teams. I personally believe reading this thread and the discussions on this topic at your seminars have been the one most useful things I have learnt so far in engineering.
Thank you,
Westly.

Really sorry to hear about your troubles Geoff.
A decade of FS involvement hasn't been enough to soak up half of what you've contributed. It's always been nice to log on and see a well constructed piece of advice about cooking in amongst all the car talk.
Wishing you all the best.
