Geoff Whitelaw has died. He was a member on here for many years and a personal friend to a lot of us. I met him at one of the Bud events and he came to our home and stayed with us after as he was on his way to a balls tournament in the bay area before heading home to Australia. He was quite the character and even though I knew this was coming I am sad that I will never pick up the phone and hear his 'g'day Kathy'! again.

Thank you for posting this Kathy. I am sorry to hear we have lost him. I remember a GREAT joke he told here in the humor section a few short years ago. "Only in Oz ! !" was one of the funniest jokes I have ever heard. Geoff will be missed.

Below you will 'hear' Bud1, the narrator/cameraman recording Beemaster1 as Bud welcomed him to Mississippi at the airport proceeding a BUD EVENT, with Geoff sneaking up from behind all the way from Australia. lol :grin: These folks were good friends to each other, as well as many here at Beemaster. Bud1 and Geoff will be missed by many.
