My sincere condolences to Glenys and the rest of Graeme’s family.
I have fond memories of walking down the lane at Tua Marina, going into Woolley’s cowshed where Graeme would be milking and wait for Graeme to fill the ‘Billy’ for me. He often gave me a drink of milk by pointing the cow’s teat at me and tell me to open my mouth. Couldn’t get fresher milk than that! There was one particular day where I was a little embarrassed. I walked into the cowshed and Graeme - or Mr Woolley as he was known to me - was in a passionate embrace with the herd tester. Unsure who was the most embarrassed, them or me but the cows must of been used to it as they showed no concern! Unsure if being caught in a compromising position caused them to get married but if it did I can take some credit for being the instigator of a very long marriage!
Always looked up to Graeme and though we did not cross paths in my adult years, I always remembered him as a pleasant and easy going person.
RIP Graeme.
