it  was Geoff's funeral this week  and lots of nice things were said about him; I also found out, when doing National Service in the RAF, he was one of the servicemen lining the route at the Queen's coronation

A nice service started with Moon River (Sinatra), included Smile (Nat King Cole) and concluded with no less than Glory Glory Man Utd

One of his 2 sons read My Journey’s Just Begun by Ellen Brenneman

Don’t think of me as gone away

My journey’s just begun

Life holds so many facets

This earth is but one

Just think of me as resting

From the sorrows and the tears

In a place of warmth and comfort

Where there are no days and years

Think of how I must be wishing

That you could know today

How nothing but your sadness

Can really go away

And think of me as living

In the hearts of those I touched

For nothing loved is ever lost

And I know I was loved so much

Joseph Geoffrey Kerr 6 June 1934 - 20 October 2022
