Alexander Geddes

21 August 1945 - 12 June 2020

Alexander Geddes (aka Sandy) was one of the funniest men to walk the earth. He was loved by so so many and was a very kind and special husband to Frances Geddes, a fun and loving father to his two sons, Paul Geddes and Steven Geddes. And he was an excellent, loving and caring grandad to his two grandchildren, Aimee and Daniel Geddes. Sandy always had a great sense of humour, and loving tendencies about him. You couldn’t help but laugh and smile in his company. He loved to do anything with his family and would love to take them to places to educate them on things he loved and also encourage them with their own talents and things they enjoyed to do. He was a very special man, who will always be remembered and missed by so many
