Geoff Collins

It was with some sadness that we learnt of the passing of Geoff Collins last week.

Most of us in Rackspack have been playing pool in the local leagues for 20 years now. With that much time under our belts it is inevitable that we are going to come across the same people over and over again. Geoff was one of those guys that we would bump into 4 or 5 times a year either on a Thursday night or during a singles or doubles competition when he played with his son Tim. He had represented Berkshire at the England over 50s trials and could be seen regulary turning up to play for teams like the Willow Tree in Langley , The Fox and Pheasant in Iver and more recently the Windsor Ex Servicemens club. Whenever any of us bumped into him he always had time for a chat , a handshake and a drink. He was a really pleasant man and one of those people that you enjoyed seeing and catching up with. When we had a drink last week and were talking about him everyones reaction was the same..

"He was such a nice guy"

Our best wishes go out to Tim and the rest of the family.
