Almas, Geoffrey John
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Geoffrey John Almas at his home on Sunday, January 16th, 2022, in his 47th year.
He will be dearly missed by his two daughters who were his pride and joy, Chloe & Shelby.
Geoff was the cherished son of Jack & Janet Almas, and grandson of Velma Almas.
He will be remembered by his sister Karen (John) Dorgelo, brother Tyson (Maryann) Almas, his niece and nephews, and cherished by lifelong friends, Trevor Dunn and Johnny Roy.
Geoff and his Dad own Almas Garage and Towing where he worked all his life from a young age, then becoming a mechanic, and partnering with his Dad. Growing up he enjoyed spending time with his friends, playing hockey, baseball and snowmobiling. For the last 10 years, he took up the Almas ‘passion’ for racing, following his late Grandpa Bev, and his Dad to become the crew chief, mechanic, bank and biggest cheerleader for his daughters’ love of drag racing. They spent many great weekends with family and friends at the Grand Bend Motorplex. He greatly loved his family, friends and race family and was always willing to help out and if he didn’t know how he’d ‘Figure it Out’. He also had a love of music and often spent the long drives back and forth to the track jamming with his girls. Geoff’s memory and heart live on in his daughters – ‘Cherish the memories as we embrace the pain and burn it as fuel for our journey’ – Unknown
A small private Celebration of Geoff’s Life will be held at the Ferguson Funeral Home in Meaford on Saturday, January 22nd, 2022.
As your expression of sympathy, donations to ‘Geoff’s Racing Legacy for his Girls’ would be appreciated and may be made by (cheques only please made payable to Chloe or Shelby Almas) or the Diabetes Association through the Ferguson Funeral Home, 48 Boucher St. E., Meaford ON N4L 1B9. www.fergusonfuneralhomes.ca

Tuesday, January 18, 2022
Jack, Janet and all the Almas family……Geoff was a terrific young man, who sadly has been taken from his family and friends far before his time. We knew him only through the Garage, and, through his smile or chuckle, we always appreciated how he helped to make a major vehicle breakdown seem a little less serious.
He will remain full of life to us, always on the go and donating much of his time to his racing daughters. Rest well Geoff, your memory will last far into the future.
