Judith, Pat, Kerri and Family & The SM Community. My family extend very sincere condolences to you all at this sad time. Grahame touched so many lives during his long and devoted Priestly vocation. A truly intelligent, sincere and humble man, who we shall all miss. I am currently overseas so cannot be with you next Saturday 18th, so my apologies but will certainly be thinking of you all at that time. R.I.P. my wonderful friend Grahame.

My sympathy to Judith and Pat regarding the sad loss of your brother. May he rest in peace.
I last saw you on 23rd March 1947 - my wedding day. However I have memories of visits to your parents home in Wanganui on many occasions with my mother. I do remember your Mum well.

In 1976 Grahame was the rector of Mount St Mary's seminary in Hawkes Bay. I was just starting out on my seminary time and early during my time there my father died. Grahame was very solicitous for me and my family and came to Wellington to assist us with the funeral. It was part of a continuous kindness and gentleness that I experienced from him that year and subsequently. Ever grateful for that. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the funeral services but condolences to the Marist Fathers and to all Grahame's family and friends.
