Sunday 27th April marked the last service taken by Rev Geoff Davies at St Mary and All Saints church in Aberdeen prior to his retirement. This was followed by lunch and a presentation at the home of Mr and Mrs J Watermeyer, which was attended by most of the congregation.Geoff has been Rector of St James in Graaff Reinet since November 1999, and as such the Aberdeen congregation fell under his pastoral care. Geoff was ordained in 1970, and arrived in South Africa in 1974. His ready wit, unfailing sense of humour, and his truly prodigious memory for people and names have made him an extremely popular parish priest.
He and his wife Laurian intend to spend their retirement years in Herold, near George. We in Aberdeen will miss you both, and wish you a long and happy retirement together.
