I heard a report yesterday that Geoff Doidge had died. I have no other details, and I have no confirmation. Geoff was half of the Reno kings, and an early very active member of Somersoft (user Geoff1) early in the noughties. I learnt a lot from him.
Wow... I met him many years ago at a seminar and he was a really nice man with a passion for renovation back then (before branching out further).
The first Somersoft meetup I went to was the reno kings speaking at a breakfast. He was a lovely guy.
That is terrible news, I can only hope you've been misinformed @geoffw I remember many years ago Geoff invited @Meristone to come up to give a talk at one of his Reno King workshops. The day prior he spent the better part of a full day driving us around Brisbane showing us his investments and showing us the innovative ways that he has built his portfolio. We took so much out of that, and were so appreciative. I remember having coffee at the cafe that he religiously had a long breakfast every week (I think it was a Friday morning?) as his little luxury. An absolute gentlemen and an inspiration. RIP
Morgs and I often talk about the day we spent with Geoff and learning from him, in particular the block of apartments he was building. Time goes fast - was probably 7-8 years ago. I hope he's having a long Friday breakfast where ever he is. RIP
Oh I didn't know this- lovely fellow and we met a few times. Always so willing with his time and so keen on renovating... RIP
