I’m so saddened by the lost of your brother.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you ❤️
I am so pleased to have been able to share the service with you Judy and your family. Thank you.
I have wonderful memories of the fun times Graeme and I shared at school from 1948 to 1961 – various school plays with weeks of rehearsals at YJ, debating (including Parliament of Youth on Channel 7 TV), Cadets, Prefects, St Mary’s Church and the Caulfield Tennis Club. We were close mates.
Although we had only met a couple of times over the intervening years Graeme rang on Xmas eve 2024 for a chat, what a wonderful surprise. It was a privilege to have been able to provide some support and talk with him about his illness in his final months. Graeme had such a warm, friendly, engaging, curious, interesting personality; perhaps even a little quirky.
Thank you to Judy and to Graeme’s nephews for your eulogies. Your words expressed so well the exceptional person he was. He loved his family so much. He will be sadly missed by you and by all his friends in Brisbane. It’s wonderful to see that he lives on in the way he has touched your lives.
Kind regards,
Lee Gauld
Beautiful man who loved to share the discussions of art & culture but not much of himself. I thought his new project of learning the cello late in life was his 1st instrument, yet I learn here he had played many before.
I too recall on one of the few odd times we ran into each other unexpectedly in the Brisbane CBD, Graeme wonderfully sharing of a paisley shirt had picked up at the op shop & other times prior a CD of a musician we had discussed in conversation earlier.
I met Graeme in St Johns Cathedral at the afternoon service somewhere between 2005 & later. We met for dinner w friends of his or coffe one time at the Sheraton piano bar. I guess I’ve know & celebrated Graeme for about 20 years, yet this friendship now expands to eternity. Graeme shared of some of the wonders of his school days, yet humbly never shared ofvhis great accomplishments in life that I have graciously heard thus morning.
I would have love to be sharing in body with you in the church today, though I am thankful & gracious that I could share in Spirit.
Graeme never spoke of his lung condition ever to me. Though through my science degree it is well known potting mix has risks. Graeme spoke highly & full of love for all his beloved neices & nephews whenever we caught up. He often shared of the joy of his long visits at Christmas with family. Graeme spoke of the wonderful experience he had if having his feet washed at a Maundy Thursday service.
Blessings & peace to all Graeme’s family & to Graeme.
Miss you already.
in my experience rain is a blessing from God our Father. To me it means our Lord has heard our prayers and another prodigal son has made it home and all of heaven rejoices. So it was nice to hear it was raining in Brighton this morning on this day. Blessings to all.
Graeme also used to like to remind me of the time I had discussed about storing my rowing scull at his unit property so I could get out on the river more frequently. Maybe this would have resulted in some early morning breakfast conversations.
Thanx Judi for notifying us of this service for Graeme. We watched and listened with sadness at his passing but no small measure of joy as we heard things about Graeme which we were learning for the first time. Especially in your account of his early years. He will rest gently now. Safe in the arms of his Creator. Blake and Sally Stanwick.
Dear Judy and family my sinceres condolences Graeme was a friend and a true Francophile ! We loved sharing our love of French movies with him ! I cooked French food for Graeme a few times at our home and always felt that he loved it! He will be missed here in New Farm
Lots of love to you all

A very touching service in the memory of Graeme. Please accept my condolences at his loss. I was fortunate to have been a school mate friend of his at CGS.

Thank you, Judi, for inviting me to share in the ceremony. Graeme was my neighbour in New Farm for all of the 25 years I lived there. I cannot imagine having a more considerate neighbour and we shared many conversations, especially on music and film, especially French ones. I was happy to learn more about him from the words of his family, and I fully endorse the ‘good shirts’ comments.
What a beautiful, truly beautiful service. The words were spoken so truly and with so much intention…..I just pictured his smiling face all the way through. He will be missed by everyone. He will have been incredibly proud to have heard all those stories shared by his favourite people. Sending my love always xxxxx
Judi & Family. My sincere condolences at this time. My times with Graeme stretch over half a century as our paths crossed both personally and corporately from Qantas in Melbourne and finally culminating in Brisbane. During all those years he was always generous with his time willingly sharing many and varied thoughts and views and I looked forward to our frequent lunches during the last eight years in New Farm. He along with his like will be sadly missed. Bryan Dickson Brisbane
Graeme is missed every day in New Farm..he had many special qualities..always a gentleman.
Graeme was a kind gentle man. I think of him often when out walking as we used to stop and have a chat. When we would catch up for coffee there was always robust conversations. I shall miss him but thankful to have met him.
Condolences to you and your family

I met Graeme when I moved into his apartment block in New Farm. From the very beginning Graeme was friendly and welcoming as (I was later to find out) he was with all new people moving into the complex. We became friends with regular footpath and stairwell chats. Even dined together on a couple of occasions. Graeme was one of the nicest, people I have met. Gentlemanly, educated, acentric, caring with a lovely sense of humor is how I describe Graeme.
My deepest condolences to his family.
I will miss him.

I was fortunate to meet Graeme when I moved into his apartment block. Graeme and I became good friends very soon afterward.
We had many interesting and enjoyable conversations as well as going out to dinner occasionally.
Gentlemanly, eccentric, very well educated, worldly with a lovely gentle sense of humour is how I describe Graeme who luckily for me also became a dear friend.
I will miss him.
Charles.
I say goodbye to Graeme with very good memories and enormous respect.
I first met Graeme at school together and this flowed through to our post school and respective family lives. Although I have not seen much of Graeme in recent years I have been kept up to date through our friends in common.
