The prowess with the written word was beyond all shadow of a doubt. You were so very good that even your non de plumes were able to strike so many chords on so many levels. The wit, the wisdom, the talent - all things that inspired others, for which I am one. An admiration might be a stretch to far, but a subtle mentor and tutor would not be far enough. Thank you, Graeme. Write in peace.

To Christine and family,
I was so sorry to read about Graeme's recent passing. We were work colleagues at Honda New Zealand Head Office in Auckland initially and continued our friendship when we caught up during various motoring events over the years. So pleased Glenda and I made the effort to catchup with you both when we were in Queenstown a couple of years ago. Graeme was a very knowledgeable and respected man within the motoring industry in general, a gifted journalist and extremely passionate when it came to the Honda brand especially. RIP Graeme, it's been an absolute pleasure to have known and worked alongside you. I will miss the occasional chats and messaging we shared in recent times. Jack Biddle
