Geoffrey Ernest HALLAM 89 yrs sadly passed away late evening on the 17th September 2024 following a long illness. He was surrounded by his family at the time.
Geoff or INKY as he was lovingly known was born in 1935 in Dunkirk, Nottingham and subsequently went to the Cottesmore Boys School. Following school he served an apprenticeship at Raleigh Industries and to follow his own father joined the Grenadier Guards aged 18yrs, He subsequently undertook active service in the Suez Crisis. He became a Sergeant Instructor in the Guards and left in 1957 to join the Nottingham City Police. He did his initial service in the City and very young in service joined the old Mechanised Division where he served as a Pc, Sgt, Inspector and Temporary Chief Inspector at both TD(N) and TD(O). He also worked in Traffic Planning and his greatest pride was that he was the Head of the Motorcycle Section.
He retired from the Police Service in 1987 and for a short time worked for a Solicitors company and subsequently Rushcliffe Council until his retirement in 1997.
He continued as the National Representative for the Guards Association. He was a keen sportsman and follower of Leicester Tigers Rugby Team. He was a very good swimmer and an ASA Coach.
With other Police Officers (Keith BOSWORTH and Lynne GANT ) he formed a Judo school such was his interest in Martial Arts.
He had been a widower in the region of 20yrs, his late wife Janet was a Midwife.
Towards the end of his life Geoff had discussed with his sons that he did not want a big fussy funeral as most of the people he worked with were now themselves deceased. To that end there will be no formal funeral as Geoff wished to have a Direct Cremation and his family will comply with his wishes.
Geoff leaves sons Phillip and Nigel, 3 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.
