My condolences Angie to you and your family on the loss of your fine man. I only heard today of Graeme’s passing. He was such a great and caring friend to my brother Keith and his family and especially so (with support from you) when Keith was having difficult times. I shall not forget his unwavering kindness. I know too that Keith’s family would share these sentiments. Neil Ranford
