Tributes
To honour Graham - a man for whom his love and pride in Janet and his ever-expanding close family were the cornerstone of his existence; and his contributions to his community as a long-serving Justice of the Peace were admirable. He was a person with whom, over 34 years, I shared many companionable hours in lively discussion, often marked by so much laughter and occasionally, mutual tears. Graham welcomed me with warmth and affection as a late addition to his extended family when I met and married Janet's brother Don. I hold so many lasting memories of him as a brother-in-law whom I valued, admired and loved.
