He enjoys going to the gym, playing golf, and going for walks via a coffee shop. Geoff gave up work over five years ago as he was starting to show signs of memory loss and could not continue. He volunteered for a little at Citizens' Advice Bureau but stopped that a couple of years ago too.

Although some of his friends still see him from time to time, this is not regular.
