A cloud of sorrow settled over the
village of Walton this week as we
mourned the loss of Geoffrey Banks.
A pleasant, always friendly and

He was a young man described as
having a zest for life, an ability to
bring light into anyone's day, a
comic, a clown and having
unbridled ambition to succeed at the
task before him.
A testament to what a truly
remarkable young man he was
showed in the attendance of over
300 mourners at the funeral held

condolences to Randy and Patty and
their families at this difficult time.
