CHRISTENSSEN, GEOFFREY (GEOFF) DAVID

October 4th, 1945 – February 9th ,2025  

With great sadness Wendy, his beloved wife, best friend and soul mate for over 50 years is letting everyone know that Geoff passed away peacefully in the early hours on the morning of Sunday February 9th, 2025. 

Geoff was born and educated in Cambridge, England, his big claim to fame was that he was taught English by Douglas Adam the author of “Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy”. and “Don’t Panic” was always a guiding phrase that Geoff would remind himself of as he came up against any problems in his life. Geoff was also extremely adventurous being a founding member of the British Sub Aqua Club in Cambridge doing recreational and professional dives for the police and for companies. Geoff was very smart, he successfully played in chess tournaments on a Cambridgeshire Team. Geoff worked at the British Welding Research Institute in Abingdon, Cambridgeshire as a Mechanical Design Engineer working on welding projects from all over the world. Geoff also did detailed plans and architectural projects for people wanting extensions and renovations completed on their homes.  Geoff throughout his life quietly volunteered hours of his time to help other people, helping to raise funds and improve their living environments (an example in St Anthony is the 4 houses the St Anthony Area Lions Club / Habitat for Humanity Housing project that many people in the town helped be successful), I tagged along helping and supporting him in many of his endeavors.  

Geoff and I married April 1st, 1973, and this year would have been our 52nd wedding anniversary. Geoff was the youngest in his family, he has an older brother John and older sister Jean still living in Fulbourn, England. Geoff’s English mother and Swedish father have both passed away, and he was also predeceased by an older brother Peter. Geoff has two nieces, Anna and Victoria living in England with their families, they are Peter’s two daughters. 

Geoff is being cremated as he wanted, and an intermate memorial service will be held for Geoff at a later date when it has been arranged.                                               

The picture of Geoff is how I will always remember him, the years have gone by far too quickly and I will miss him and love him forever.

“Our parents are the people who make us who we are. They start by wanting us, caring for us and holding our hands. They teach us, guide us and want the absolute best for us. They give themselves and their time in their own life so we can have everything we need. Most of all, they give us a love so unconditional it can never be broken, tarnished or understood.

Our father was all of these things. A father, a grandfather, a brother, a son, a friend. Most of all, he was our Dad.

We are so sad that you had to leave us, but we will continue your legacy to love unconditionally and will never stop. We will never forget you. You gave up everything, so we could have everything. You were the most selfless person we have ever known. We love you and miss you so much. Our wish is for you to rest now. You’re in our thoughts, and dreams and prayers, always and forever.

We love you Dad.”

HUNT, DAVID LEONARD

Dave was born to Barbara and Laco Hunt on July 19, 1943 in Brighton, England. After the war, the family settled in Canada where his father took a job with the Federal Government. As a result of this, Dave spent several years in Canada’s Arctic when he was young. Maybe it was his time there that gave him love of the north as he was passionate about Labrador. After college, Dave took a job with the Hudson’s Bay Company spending time in the company’s northern posts in Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and Quebec. His desire to live in Labrador and his wish to start his own business made him eventually leave the Hudson’s Bay Company and he began his career as an entrepreneur in Goose Bay. His business included a furniture store, a television and cable business, and an office supply store. Dave was also very active with the Rotary Club and the Labrador North Chamber of Commerce, serving a term as President. He was a great advocate for Labrador and took every opportunity to promote and connect businesses in Central Labrador to other Northern regions through conferences and trade shows. In the late 1970’s Dave met his life’s partner, Bella Hodge and her family became his family. Dave was so proud to be called “Pop” by the grandchildren; they were his pride and joy. He will be forever missed by all who knew and loved him.  He leaves to mourn his partner Bella Hodge; Step-Children Dana (Donna), Lyndon (Mary), Stephanie Jill (Monty), Stanley John, and Gina Belle (Adrian); Grandchildren Elizabeth, Ian, Conor, Ciara, Anakin, Brady, and Jennifer; Great-Grandchild Journey; Brother Peter (Joyce); Cousin Benita and Don Marshall (Queensland, Australia) as well as a large circle of extended family and friends.
