“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing” (2 Timothy 4: 7-8).

Barry Gibson I met Geoff while working in retail in Winnipeg in the late 1970’s. I played drums
and was in a band I wasn’t happy with. He had a band that needed a new drummer – voila! We joined forces. Geoff widened my musical vistas and inspired me with his
talent, dedication and work ethic. Many a night after rehearsal we piled into his
VW beetle and later the maxi van (also the band “bus.”) and headed to the Winnipeg
Airport for coffee. We went on some memorable road trips-especially a “mad dash”
to Miami Florida – a bet with our boss that we could make it in 48 hours. Geoff was one determined fellow. With just the two drivers we made it.Geoff moved back to BC and we both moved on with our respective lives – eventually
re-forming a band in the 90’s when he came home to work on his degree. Sadly for
all his friends in Winnipeg he moved to the coast again.His passing leaves a hole in the lives of everyone who knew him, but the memories
of who he was and what he believed in so resolutely and made him Geoff are what
remain vividly in our hearts and minds.

Romulus Ciric Geoff has been a great friend since we met in the summer of 1989 while taking the same History course at the University of Manitoba. He was the most courageous, honest and hard working individual I have ever met and even though we hadn’t seen each other in person for many years, I will miss him immensely. May God rest his soul in His eternal kingdom.
Dr. Geoffrey Shaw was a remarkable gentleman. We felt so fortunate to know and work with him on “The Mandate of Heaven” Vietnamese translation project. May he rest peacefully in the care of our beloved Creator.
