Last week, I heard some very shocking news. Geoff Biddle, CEO of Payment Solutions, 66, was found shot in his own home.
I had known Geoff for many years. We always used to run into each other at fundraising conferences. I still remember Beverly Kempf introducing him to me as the person who was going to take over as she was getting ready to retire.
Geoff was the kindest, pleasant, and most knowledgeable man. I had the opportunity to work with him and his colleagues at Payment Solutions for one of my clients.
Geoff was passionate about sustainer giving and about helping nonprofits process credit cards and EFT payments. He was always looking for new ways to make it easier, and he and his team were on top of the latest payment developments (and there sure have been many!)
Smooth sustainer processes don’t just happen. It takes people like Geoff who quietly work in the background to know all there is to know about payment processes and who make fundraisers’ lives easier.
Geoff, I’m sure I can say I speak on behalf of all those nonprofits you’ve helped: We salute you. May you rest in peace. We will miss you.
