I was a student and friend of Geoff's. He really took me under his wing in the anthropology field, and even though I had more of an interest in Medieval archaeology, I learned so much about the field as a whole from Geoff, not just in the classroom, but in our get-togethers as well. Whether they were at his home, out for a bite to eat, or in my one trip to Thailand, our meetings were always fun and thought-provoking. I saw him as a father figure, and he treated me like a son. He was always interested in my life and took on my concerns as his own. I regret that once I started a family of my own, we spoke less and less often, but he always reached out from time to time to either ask my opinion on some writing he was working on, ask for my editing assistance, or just to check in on my life. From his adventures in paleoanthropology, his exceptional grasp of language, his passion for finding answers, to his love of the simple life, Geoff was definitely the most interesting man I've ever met. My hope is that now he has all the answers he was seeking. Rest in peace, friend.
