A 75-year-old grandfather whose death is being treated as possibly suspicious by police has been remembered by his family as someone who was “always putting us first”.

In a tribute released through GMP, Geoffrey’s family said: “He has been there and supported us throughout our whole lives, always putting us first. He was a stubborn man, but there wasn’t a bad bone in his body.
