Today I attended a memorial service for Geoff Harris, one of Watford CVS’s honorary Vice Presidents. I knew Geoff well, but did not know that he had such an illustrious and interesting war record, or that he had played quite such a key role in the development of the Boys’ Brigades. I simply knew him as a Good Man who devoted his life to his community. And there was a good turnout from the local community coming to honour Geoff’s life.

Like Pam Handley, Geoff Harris has now left us. But there will be more people in the wings waiting to take up the baton on behalf of their neighbours and their communities.
