Our man Geoff Lee decided he was ready for retirement after years of teasing himself with the notion of not spending another day working.
I couldn’t be happier for you, Geoff. You’ve got some well-earned rest and relaxation ahead ... but knowing you, your days will be spent on a bike or in a pool. You fit bugger, you!
I’ve known Geoff since moving to Lloydminster in 2014. I was the Booster’s Sports Editor and would chat with him on various assignments.
I’ve worked with him directly since 2016 when the Booster and Source amalgamated. The rest, as they say, is history.
It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Geoff every day for the last decade.
Monday mornings usually included a recap of weekend NHL games (if his Maple Leafs were playing) or golf. Geoff is also a major fan of America’s Got Talent.
Geoff has often talked about pursuing his passion of becoming the Leafs’ next star. If the NHL doesn’t come calling, I suggest appearing on your favourite reality show to combine swimming and cycling in a display of peak physical fitness.
The judges like it and you may even get a golden buzzer from members of the community trying to stay fit as they age.
Over the years, I’ve read MANY opinions and stories from the man we at the Source call “Spin Doctor Lee.” It’s safe to say he’s passionate about the community he works in. He’s also very caring and detail-oriented in his role at the Source.
Geoff presence at the Source will be missed and surely not forgotten.
I’ve said it to your face several times, but Geoff, I hope I’m half as healthy and spry as you are at 75. You’re resilient on many fronts and I’ll miss having you around the office.
