The beloved husband to Sue, our Papa, passed away on Monday 15th June 2026 after a short illness from his end stage Parkinson's Disease. He dedicated his life to advancing the knowledge of malaria, but his greatest legacy is the warmth, guidance, sense of humour, faith and love he brought to the lives of his family, friends and colleagues. He will be forever missed but is now at peace.

Please join us for the funeral service at St James Church, New Malden and afterwards at the wake. The committal at the crematorium is for close family only, thank you. 

Friends and neighbours are welcome to raise a glass in memory of Geoff at Woodies Freehouse, The Sportsground, Thetford Road, New Malden, KT3 5DX. Please let Helen know if you are able to attend, via email: helen.rawlins1@gmail.com

At Geoff's request, family flowers only please. However, if you would like to make a donation to the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene of which he was a member for 60 years, the link is below.
