Deepest condolences to Leslie and extended families for your very sad loss.
Great memories of a wonderful Warrion stalwart of unshakeable dependability …. Dear Graeme you were one of a kind, and treasured community citizen, great friend to all you knew, a ‘true blue’ and loyal gentleman whom was the Warrion Flower Show’s ‘everything’’ …. A wonderful husband to Leslie and Dad to your family.
I have many fond memories of you in my younger years in Warrion, your footy and cricket days and was so grateful for our last lovely chat late last year when you came up to me for a lovely ‘Warrion Days’ chinwag!
So many great memories we reminisced over …..gone far too soon and was such a shock to hear of your sudden passing.
Sending much love and big hugs to Leslie and family.RIP dear Graeme. ♥️🥀♥️🥀♥️

To Lesley and all the family,
We were all saddened by the news about Graeme.
Graeme was a wonderful man, and although we lived many oceans apart, we count ourselves lucky to call your whole family our friends.
We have such great memories with yourself, Graeme, and Locky staying with us in the UK and then our time spent on the farm in Colac.
We recall the time Trevor accidentally drove across a T junction out the back of Colac without looking, only to realise when approaching the same junction the next day what he had done. Graeme's response was, "Yeah, I realised only too late that you wasn’t going to stop yesterday, but I do appreciate you stopping and looking this time, Trevor."
We will all be thinking about you on Friday.
July 25, 2024 5:54 am
Lesley, Marnie, Hayley, Josh, Pip, Lochy, partners and extended family. Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of Graeme, a person we have always admired for his ethics and great spirit.

We watched your love for each other grow and was delighted when he became family❣️ We will miss his beautiful smile and friendship. Thinking of you all and hope you’re beautiful memories, will help you through this difficult time. Forever in our hearts. ❤️
Maree & ChrisJuly 21, 2024 8:23 pm
Graeme was one of the first people we meet when we moved to Warrion! He was everywhere: the main man at the fire brigade, a dedicated Warrion flower show organiser , brilliant community bbq cook (Australia days) and helper at the old casserole tea nights. Graeme could be seen doing all three things: planning it, doing it and cleaning it afterwards! A selfless and generous farmer with his community always at the forefront.
This sad news has taken the wind out of our sails. We will miss you.
Love to Lesley and family.

Dear Lesley,
Absolutely shocked and devastated to hear of Graeme’s passing. It’s so hard to take it in; I remember our first meeting in London in 1975 like it was yesterday, and our reunion when you visited the U.K. a few years ago. We only saw each other for a short time, but I’ve always felt like you’ve been lifelong friends. I shall always remember Graeme fondly. As the Queen said, ‘Grief is the price you pay for love’, but I hope you will take some solace that your friends, and no doubt, your family, are grieving with you. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Take care, my friend. xxx
