I just learnt that our elder Sir Geoff Palmer has joined the ancestors. What a life he led and what a legacy.
May his passage be gentle.

Proud to have had him as a colleague.
Sir Geoff Palmer was a pioneer and an outstanding intellectual. He had a hugely positive impact on Scotland and will be sorely missed. My sympathy to his family.
