He enjoyed spending time with his family and younger cousins.  Playing sports and family cookouts is what he enjoyed, also playing softball in men’s league and coed.  He was always ready to guide his siblings and cousins to do better in life and in everything they do.  Geoff was also a true Vikings fan.  He always watched them play, even got the chance to attend a game.
