Re: Geoff "Penno" Penniston I will miss Penno dearly. He coached me when I was 18 at Richmond Olympics and I have had the opportunity to continue to be around him with the Nations Cup organization. His passion for soccer and the enjoyment of being with his friends has been inspirational.
We have talked many times about the World Cup and the joy of being part of the experience. I have been saving to go to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and spending time with him at the event. I will miss not having that opportunity but will make a point of toasting Penno at the event.
The Nations Cup will miss something this year without him but the joy of tournament, his legacy and his memory will be forever celebrated.
RIP Geoff,
