Posted on: Sunday, December 21, 2025Geoff Hardy had a gift for laughter and a love of sports. He proudly called himself “Arnold Palmer,” promised to meet us at the 19th hole for a Guinness, and joked that he always won the game because he kept the score. Geoff was very proud of his “dynasty”, and during his life he created a very detailed family tree going back several generations, which his family built upon and grew to over 2000 people. Geoff will always be remembered in our stories, our roots, and our hearts. We miss you Poppa, but we will see you at the 19th hole! – Your Grandson Brian
