Ericno5,
I've just read your post about Geoff.
He first made me a pair of gloves about 20 years ago and been making them for me for since although they were that good i would only get a new pair because I wanted some never that I needed them.
He truly loved what he did and was so pleased with the quality of his product.
Geoff was a true gent with some amazing stories to tell, I'd often spend as much time talking to him about the professionals who visited him in his little work shed as it would have taken him to make the gloves.
What a great guy, I will miss him!
