Dr Geoff Allen 1927-- 2019

From Vinoth Kumar by email

Mon, 14 Oct 2019

Martinian Dr. Geoff Allen passes away at the age of 92.

This is the sad message received today from daughter Janet
in Hamilton, New Zealand.

"Dad died today at 4:10pm, he passed away
peacefully in his bed. We are all devastated."

May his soul rest in eternal peace. Geoff was
from Lucknow La Martiniere, he was a great
man and left an even greater mark on the people
he encountered. The world has lost a very unique and special
person. He was one of a kind, a truly talented, brilliant, amazing
man. He was also a keen golfer and had a great sense of humour at times
naughty but nice.

Also attached is the last video he sent me.

This plaque at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton hospital says it all....

Important New Zealand “firsts” include mediastinoscopy, insertion of a
epicardial leads for a demand pacemaker, radial arterio-venous access
for haemodialysis, and participation in reimplantation of a hand.

After retirement in 1996, Geoff continued, among other interests,
to play golf twice weekly.
