Loiswt Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It is with tremendous sadness that we report that 3rd year trumpet player Geoff Silver passed away last evening in Richmond, va. Anyone who knew Geoff, knew that he loved being a Buccaneer. We will miss him dearly and will perform this weekend in his honor. HOME SHOW!!!

boneman2000 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The thing I will remember about him is that he always had fun. It could've been 95 degrees and 300% humidity, and he was still completely into being out there on the field and enjoying every minute of it. RIP Geoff. It's always your home show.

Would someone PM me with specifics please? Wonderful gentleman and loved his corps, always good for a laugh. *says a prayer* Patrick Sloan Founder and Former Director Carolina Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjude1202 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 In complete shock! When I was involved with Carolina Gold he always came over to talk with the folks who were still marching from his time at Gold. Really nice outgoing guy. Gone too soon..... RIP Geoff.....

Fran Haring Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Very sad news. I got the word about this yesterday morning before prelims, and I was pretty much blown away. 27 years old....that young man had a wonderful life ahead of him. May he rest in peace, and Barbara and I send our condolences to the Buccaneers organization on this heartbreaking loss. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
