Dear Sandra, Sarah, Ben and Sam,
I am so very saddened to hear of the loss of Graeme. I have only the fondest memories of him.
My thoughts are with you at this very sad time.
Dear Sandra and family, what a wonderful sendoff for a terrific and much loved man. I have known Graeme for over 20 years, always diligent with his knowledge and efficiency at his profession and I’m sure he would be so proud of Ben and his role with the business. I always remember Graeme coming over every year to my place to do my tax and him always asking before he came over “I hope you have some nice homemade slices to have with a cuppa” and as always i made sure there was.
Sending my warmest wishes to you all at this sad time.

Dear Sandra, Ben & Julia, Sarah & Michael and Sam,
What a beautiful service and farewell to Graeme. He certainly was such a friendly and warm man who always made us feel so welcome. What touching words and memories you all shared. I always felt so strongly how much Graeme loved being a husband and Dad and how proud he was of his family. This was so evident in your brave and heartfelt farewell to him. I wish we could come visit and chat about our dear Dad’s. Hopefully it won’t be too long until we can do this. I hope they are having a good catch up somewhere together now. I am sure we will feel their presence around us when we really need it. Sending our love and care to you all xxx Tammie, Michael, Annamieke and Dashiell Lindeman xxx
Dear Sandra, Ben, Sarah and Sam, It was a lovely service, very moving. He would have been very proud of you all today. Thank you for reading out my tribute highhlighting his love forr the Beatles. Ironically, on Channel 9 tonight at 9.30pm they are airing remastered footage of the 1964 Beatles Melbourne Concert and unseen footage. We will be watching in honour of Uncle Graeme lots of love Liz and Debra xxx
A beautiful tribute to such a kind and loving man, love to you Sandra, Ben, Sarah and Sam.
Graeme was a pleasure to have known.
Love to you all.

Dear Sandra, Ben and Julia, Sarah and Michael and Sam,
What a beautiful service – you all did Graeme proud. We will miss you Graeme. You were a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Go Tigers! Love always Gillian, Ian and Boys xxxxx
Dear Sandra, Ben and family,
What a beautiful Service for Graeme, covering an amazing full life. Thank you for allowing us to share in it. We are lucky to have had the pleasure to know Graeme, always a gentleman, always friendly, smiling and helpful, and would talk proudly of his family at any opportunity. He did tell me the story of having lunch with Billy Connolly. Amazing, but that was just Graeme’s friendly open way. Thinking of you and sending sincere sympathy. Kindest regards, Mary Nicholls and the CBASSCC
Dear Sandra, Ben, Julia, Sarah, Michael & Sam.
What a beautiful service. To a true gentleman. Rest in Peace, Graeme.
Our deepest condolences to each of you. You are all in our hearts and thoughts xx
Dear Sandra, Ben, Sarah & Sam,
Our sincere condolence at the passing of such a beautiful soul. Thank you for the opportunity of sharing this online farewell to Graeme and gaining a deeper insight into who we came to know as a true gentleman. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love from:
Careena & Chuck .
We were so pleased to have Graeme in our lives and the wonderful times when the Tardrew family visited us at Molesworth and we remember Graeme teaching our family his favourite golf swings. Lovely to be present today at Graeme’s beautiful on-line service, although not in person to support you, but with you in spirit. How proud Graeme will be of his family and what a wonderful, warm tribute it was to a wonderful person and Graeme will be remembered forever in our hearts. With all our love from Marg, Les, Darren, Matthew and Kathryn xxxx
Sandra, Ben, Sara, & Sam, thank you for sharing Graeme’s service online so we could be a part of it. It was a lovely service. We were quite touched by Ben’s mention of Mom and Dad and seeing us all together in the pictures. The lasting relationship, formed by a chance meeting 35 years ago in England and kept alive despite being literally a world apart, just goes to show how Graeme’s infectious personality and interest in making friendships with other people was such a powerful part of his life. I can say, without a doubt, that he will be missed all around the world. Graeme’s beautiful smile and his easy-going laugh made it nearly impossible not to like him. I think he and my father had that in common, along with a true joy of life. I know my parents treasured their friendship with your family, and Amanda and I feel the same way. Although we may not have the opportunity to be physically present, your family is often in our thoughts and we are grateful to have known all of you. We will miss Graeme from afar and we share deeply in the loss you feel. Love to all of you, Andy & Amanda
To Dear Sandra Sam Ben Julia Sarah and Michael. Our love thoughts and prayers are with you all.

hi sandra and family, a very sad day for all of us that new graeme. I met him in approx 1977 at mentone branch. he was savings bank supervisor and I was trading bank supervisor. I lived in dingley 13 marcus road.We both had a passion for football and golf(thru commonwealth bank golf club) and our paths crossed many times through our careers. A lovely bloke who loved life a couple of beers and in depth discussion. we will all miss you mate, regards neville
To the Tardrew family,
our condolonces to the family on Grame’s passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lovely man, who created a lovely family. Graeme was a true gentleman. He did our taxes for us for many years, but he was much more than that. We spent far more time together chatting about our families and life in general than doing the taxes. The world has really lost one of it’s gifts.
Loved all the tributes.
R.I.P. dear Graeme,
To Sandra, Ben and family, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.
I shall always remember Graeme as a wise and witty man who was always very
polite and helpful.
All the best Dianne McGuire

To Sandra and family,
It was a lovely service and thankfully we were able to participate in Graemes funeral. He would have been so proud of you and his children at this difficult time.
It was such a pleasure being your next door neighbours for 30 odd years until we moved from Dingley. We still think about those evenings when we would pop in for a quick coffee and chat after dinner and not leave until the wee hours.
