It is a genuine sadness to hear of Graeme’s passing and I will remember the chat we had at the Netball courts only three months ago where he was watching his great-granddaughter play. Graeme was a very well respected businessman not only in the motor industry but across many other industries as well.
He will be greatly missed.

Our sincere condolences to Rowena & family in the sad passing of Graeme. Ross had great respect for Graeme in the building industry & we always loved catching up for a yarn with both Rowena & Graeme when whenever we were in Queenstown. You will have your own special memories of a much loved husband, father & grandfather to treasure.
