Graeme was a kind and gentle soul, always with a warm smile and a quick wit. His friendly nature and sense of humor will be deeply missed. Condolences to the family. He will be remembered.

Graeme radiated kindness and warmth. He was someone who made you feel immediately at ease with his big smile.
I only knew Graeme for a short time but his kind heart will not be forgotten.

Graeme was my room mate during our Police recruit intake in 1961.
He was also groomsman at our wedding in 1963. Marie and I treasure the good times we had with him and Carolyn. Thank you both for your friendships over the years. Graeme will be missed greatly by his loving family.
He is now with his Maker.
God bless him.

Sorry we cannot be there today to say farewell to you Graeme but we enjoyed all our time
with you and Carol over the years. You were a great friend, an enjoyable collegue in Civil Defence
and I will miss your 'home brews'.
Vaya Con Dios my friend.
