In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
ARCHBOLD, Geoffrey John Herbert Erskine - Ret. Cdr. Geoffrey J.H.E. Archbold, 81, of Saanich, BC, passed away peacefully on March 31, 2025, with his children by his side. Born in Vernon, BC, Geoff attended Royal Roads Military College and served with the Royal Canadian Navy from 1961 until his retirement in 1995. He returned to Victoria with his beloved wife Joan, who predeceased him in 2002. He is survived by his children David (Melissa) and Alix, his partner of 20 years Heather Hanson, brother Tony (Maureen), nephews Chris and Andrew, and grandchildren Aiden, Zoe, Logan, and Courtney. A fixture in the neighborhood in his green cardigan, Geoff will be remembered for his kindness, quiet strength, and devotion to those he loved. "Green Cardigan", knit by Joan, accompanied him one last time. Special thanks to the staff at VGH ICU, RJH, and the Kidney Care Centre for their dedicated care. Donations in his memory may be made to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. (The Victoria Times Colonist 12 Apr 2025)
