After my time but so sad that another crew member has gone and young too, this is where you’re hard work pays off because I am sure crew mates who new him will pass their messages through you, keep up the good work mate.

The sad passing of Geoff Tomlinson. Thoughts and feelings go to his family for the loss of a good man. As all 'duck' members can vouch, he served the Flag Queen and country. but most of all Served and Protected his family as an honourable man! May he rest in peace.UBXAB

I’m so saddened to hear of Tommo’s passing. When I joined the Crazy Y in 1982 at Portland, I was lumbering up the gangway with all my kit and it was big Tommo that stepped forward to give me a hand, he showed me my mess (3F) and introduced me to the rest of the guys. Throughout my time on the Yarmouth I counted on Big Tommo as being one of my friends.

I sent a wee condolence to his wife, although I never served on Yarmouth with him, you still feel it when someone from an old ship passes the bar. Geoff was born the year that I joined the Yarmouth. Anyway I just want to pass on my condolences.

I am sorry to hear about Geoff, my condolencies to Joanna and all their family. I did not serve on HMS Yarmouth until 1984 so I never met Geoff.

Our thoughts are with you.

Paul (Whisky) Walker

So sorry to hear of the sad lost of Tommo. Our thoughts are with you and your family always. Like all the Yarmouth crews, we have lost another brother from another mother. RIP Tommo. He will never be forgotten.

So very sad to hear that one of  “our own” has passed on. I remember Tommo well, he made the trip Falklands 1983 pass by with good crack and always a good laugh. There’s a photo on my photos on Yarmouth site, of Tommo, Mac McIver and me (left) during the trip, loafing down the back end. To remember someone after over 25 years, must say that he had an impact on everyone he met and was truly “special”

My sincere condolences to Tommo’s wife and family.
