I met Geoff when I was 18, I was a farm girl and he was a city slicker. Back then, to me anyway, Olympia was the big city and I came from what was called the farm school. I first saw him Geoff at my high-school homecoming dance,. He and some of his friends had snuck in. He was a very handsome blond haired guy that resembled the actor Doug McClure, not my type at all. We re-connected while attending Centralia College, we dated, fell in love, married and had two beautiful children, Jamie and Todd. Unfortunately our marriage didn't last, possibly if we knew then what we know now about mental illness, things might have turned out differently. Geoff will always have a special place in my heart. I am thankful that Geoff was able to manage his mental illness. He was then able to spend many years filled with love of friends and family. I consider myself a friend and part of his family. Geoff you will be missed.

Well Geoff, I'm sitting here chomping on a Gravenstein apple thinking that it's not nearly as good as the ones we used to get off of Babe Smith's tree on the corner of Olympia Ave. when we were kids. So many good times, memories and laughs over the decades. The movies, sporting events(Yankees are looking pretty good so far Geoff!), Big Tom's shakes, and as Paul said the Cloverleaf for pizza. You're my buddy and my friend and I really miss you, Geoffrey Paul. God Bless you and know you're in the thoughts and prayers of your family and so many friends.

Geoff and I have spent the last twelve years going to the Tacoma Rainier's baseball game at Cheney Stadium every summer. One of Geoff's favorite outings was going to the Cloverleaf Pizza parlor in Tacoma prior to one of the games. I'll miss having him with me.

One of the greatest memories of our dear cousin Geoff was the time he shot a hole-in-one on the sixth hole at the Coeur d’Alene Resort golf course. It was amazing and cousin Geoff flashed that gorgeous smile with those cute little dimples. He was grinning from ear to ear for the whole rest of the day in fact probably the rest of the year!. When we returned to the clubhouse, they rolled out a large red carpet and toasted him with champagne. It was a most memorable event that brought him and his family so much happiness! May he rest in peace. Our condolences to all of the family.
Much love,
Matson Family in Coeur d’Alene and beyond
Ellen (Matson) and Jerry Jaeger and family

I was fortunate enough to be in many foursomes with Geoff over the past decade. He was always a perfect gentleman and almost seemed surprised when we praised one his down-the-middle drives or wedges that stopped a foot from the hole. I was saddened to hear of his illness and passing. He will not be forgotten.

I offer my sympathies and condolences to the Matson family at this very sad time. While living in California for many years, my late wife, Stania, and I would make one or two trips back home to Olympia every to visit family and friends and play some golf. She always insisted that I set up a foursome with Geoff and the late Bill Kern because she enjoyed their company so much. I will of course miss playing golf with my old friend Geoff, whose snap hook was so profound that I called him "Snappy" for years and years. Rest in peace, Snappy. --Joe Frederickson
