Geoff Grant was a dedicated and pioneering volunteer and former Trustee of The Accessible Friends Network, an independent charity supporting blind & VI people via the internet. Registration of www.geoffgrant.org was kindly paid for by donations from TAFN members.
This site is under development. We hope to include people's memories and tributes to Geoff, along with a condolences book and some of his favourite music. We've also got an audio interview, and photo gallery started, with some pictures from May 21st. We sincerely hope to create a fitting online tribute to a wonderful man who will never be forgotten at TAFN.
Geoff lived near Melton Mowbray and the funeral - which was really a celebration of his life - was held on May 21st 2007 in Leicestershire. On behalf of TAFN we would like to thank Shirley and all of Geoff's family for a wonderful service which did Geoff proud. It was a day we will remember forever.
TAFN also held an online service simultaneously for those unable to attend in person. Special thanks to Gladys, Mary and Teresa for their help.
