Ex FCRS Godfrey (Jeff) Dykes wrote the following on hearing of Geoffrey's passing

  Geoff HENLEY was a submariner and I served with him in various flotillas. For good reason he was known as Lofty Henley, certainly the tallest communicator in boats in the late 50’s thru to early 70’s if not the tallest submariner in the underwater fleet. He lived up to the name of men associated with their build and for the most part he was a ‘gentle giant’ in all his dealings with fellow crew members, spending the vast amount of his service years as a submariner and retiring via Blockhouse never seeing the likes of modern surface fleet equipment’s. I cannot be sure/certain about the following comment, but Geoff would have been a FCPO on branch merit, but suffered the then proverbial problem that there was never ever a requirement to acquire HET certificates until the rules for FCPO selection were announced, and by that time, along with many very able and competent Chief’s [general service and submarine service] it was all too much to bother learning anew the higher levels of the three R’s demanding of a FCPO and much later on, a Warrant Officer 1st class. Statistics show that the majority of early selections [1972 to 1976] had already the required education standard. ‘Good Egg’ all round is a well known accolade, and Geoff warranted that in bucket loads. RIP Geoff.
