I was very sad to learn of Graeme's death. He was my boss in Media Studies at Massey, but much more than that. I think of him as a marvellous mentor and friend: warm, considerate and thoughtful. My greatest condolences to Di and the family.

We love the beautiful spirit of Graeme, and will miss being able to see and speak to him very much. Such a kind, gentle man, always happy to see you; always 'present' when talking with you and listening to you; a dynamic storyteller. A delightful part of our lives.
"The memories and love I leave behind
Are yours to keep.
I have found my rest; I have turned my face
To the sun, and now I sleep."

Yes, a final sleep, dear Graeme and with that a glorious ongoing spirit . . . forever with us here. See you there!
