Graham WARDROPE Obituary

I will miss Graham. He was my Doctor for over 50 years. Always called me Littleone. I got the message too late to say Good Bye.

Dear Carmen and family,
Both my husband Don and I have felt so lucky to have had Graham as our doctor.


Dear Carmen and family,
Both my husband Don and I have felt so fortunate to have had Graham as our doctor.
He was the kindest,most thorough,selfless and caring person.
How many GPs today would be so concerned about their patients´welfare they would make phone calls, house visits and even provide a home number to ring if worried.
We really appreciated his care.
Graham was a lovely man who will be missed by all who knew him.
My deepest sympathy for your loss.
Love, Jill Smith
P.S Thank you for your message re Don `s recent death.

Dear Joanna, Dean, Lisa & Sarah.
Sincerest condolences to you all, on the passing of your Dad Graham (and my godfather). Time passes quickly the older we get, and although I haven´t see Graham for many many years now, I do have fond childhood memories of good times and family BBQ´s at Gowing Drive. I remember Graham taking us kids on a bush walk in the St Johns bush when I was staying once, and all of us getting lost, until we finally found our way out and back to Gowing Drive. Fond memories also of my holidays with the Wardropes at Pakatoa Island. RIP Graham. Thinking of you all at this time of sorrow. Take care. xxx

Woody you were the best caring doctor ever.
Thank you for every thing you did for me and my Dad.
Rest in peace you have earned it.

Goodbye Graham, you were an outstanding local GP. I still recall those winter nights that you would drop in on your way home after surgery to check on my children when they were unwell at no cost.!! You were My parents Doctor, mine, my children and my grandchildren. 4 generations of the Thompson family owe their good health to you. Rest in Peace Doc.

Dr Wardrope had been our family doctor for many, many years. I want to thank you Dr Wardrope for all the wonderful care, support and compassion you showed over the years to me and my family. Words cannot express our gratitude for everything you did for us. Your dedication, your care and support were outstanding in times that were extremely hard for my family.
May you now rest in peace, God Bless you Dr Wardrope.
The Richardson family.

To Carmen and the family of Graham, from the Macdonald family (Garrick, late Anne, Deborah and Mark) our sincere codolences on your great loss. For five decades Graham had with professionalism, comapssion and dedication helped our family. The stories are rich and many. (such as meeting in the same B & B in Scotland on holiday) For me personally,he was an inspiration as a GP and role modeled my own career as a doctor. Our thoughts and prayers with you in this time of great loss. On behalf of our family, Dr Mark Macdonald (from the UK)

Dr Wardrope was our family doctor when I was younger and my sisters and brother, and my dear late mum and dad one of my sisters still saw him a few years back he was so lovely to us all and we held him in high regard and always trusted him, we are all grown up now with our own families but we will remember Graham with a fondness. the Gray Family from Glen Innes The late Joan and Ernest Gray and Margret, Jennifer, Wendy and Bill.

Graham was our doctor since 1999 when my wife and I arrived in Auckland.
We both found Graham to be warm, charming, full of empathy and of course an excellent Doctor. Graham SAVED MY LIFE and so I consider I have already won Lotto. He had been monitoring my PSA for some time and my annual PSA test came back well below 2.0 but upon the DRE he said that my prostate had gone hard, but my PSA was so low. But he then said I should go for a biopsy just to make sure and it came back POSITIVE at 7 / 10. I had surgery 8 weeks later and as it had not escaped the prostate capsual I did not require any further treatment. That you Graham.
