Geoff (Poppa) was very proud of his “dynasty” and of all their accomplishments, and the fact they are all good people.  Geoff was born in Newcastle England January 3,1928. He worked his whole working life for Kodak. First in England and then in Canada. Geoff was enthusiastic about most sports, but especially soccer. He coached kids’ soccer for years. Because of this, anyone who would like to make a memorial contribution in lieu of flowers, please consider Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities

The Hardy family would like to give wholehearted thanks to the caring and hardworking staff at Victoria Village Manor in Barrie. He was cared for with love and respect for 14 years.

Cremation will take place with a spring internment.  There will be a celebration of Geoff’s long life in the near future. RIP Geoff. Cheers!
