Geoff was my next door neighbor, the greatest a man could ask for, always there to help or give advise. He was one of the greatest fisherman I ever knew, he could catch fish in a puddle. Ill never forget the trip we took two weeks before his final day, Geoff, my son Craig and myself took my boat out of the canal to chase Striped Bass off Fire Island, we get to the area and the fish are breaking water chasing bait, Geoff hooks up, my son hooks up and Im still trying to set the anchor. Well they both catch big fish and Im still setting the anchor, they both then turn to me and say ok, capt take us home, we got ours. Needless to say we went back with only two fish. Again he was the best man I ever knew and miss him like a brother, RIP Geoff

I knew Geoff when we were meter readers for LILCO. What a great guy! I went 4-wheeling with him on occasion on the beach. I remember one time he was telling me about going fishing in that little boat and went out past the breakers. He said he wasn't worried that he lost sight of land due to the fog that rolled in. He always laughed and had a way of endearing himself to everyone. A true class act. Rest well friend - you touched so many and I am proud to have been able to consider myself a friend-even for a short time. - Steve

When I heard this, it broke my heart to see that a lot of people died in this tragedy. So my thoughts on this were very hurtful to me and my family. So I'd like to dedicate this to all the people who lost their lives that day.

Mrs. Guja,

I did not know your husband personally, nor do I know you, but I had to tell you about my connection to your husband. On 9/11/10 my husband, along with a lot of other firefighters in the Nashville, TN area, gathered together to do the stair climb in remembrance of all of their fallen brothers. Each firefighter got to climb in remembrance of a certain firefighter who lost his life that day. It so happened that my husband received your husband. When he returned home and told me all of the wonderful details about the climb and the name of the man he climbed for, one Lt. Geoffrey Guja, I got curious. Who was this man? What was he like? Did he have a family? And so forth. I took the tag with his name and picture and googled his name. I cried reading the different posts about him. He seemed like such a wonderful man. What amazed me even more was that he reminded me of my husband, a silly, fun-loving, giving, family man. I feel as if I know him. I was so glad to put a person with the face and name. I feel so honored for my husband to have climbed in remembrance of your husband. I will forever send prayers for your family. And thank you for sharing your husband with us.

God bless Geoff Guja, my idea of a hero, whose path crossed with mine at Massapequa, Gilgo Beach Inn, and Lackawaxen River, PA. He is to be remembered long after the steel of the World Trade Center turns to dust.

Well, Geof, your birthday is almost here. So of course I have been thinking about you. I still go to the mountains like we used to, and I will have a drink for you on your birthday. I hope my mom is with you now. She always got a kick out of you. I miss her and you and Tracy and Chris. Wow! The list just keeps on growing. Life is hard down here without all of you. Jamie is having an engagement party, and you have been constantly on her mind. You meant so much to her. I hope you could somehow let her feel your presence. We miss you.

Love,
Deb

It is almost 7 years later, Geof. Jamie and I miss you so much more now. We missed you at her college graduation ceremony. You would have been so proud. You have a grandson who is 3. He looks at your picture in the living room and sees your helmet and asks if he can wear it. He loves to play fireman. He asks about grandpa Geof, and we tell him about you. He knows you are a hero. You would have had fun with him. I miss you, Geoff. Even the crazy days.

Your wife,
Debbie
