Much admired and respected friend of the late Joan (née Swann) Schollum family as part of the extended Swann and Durney families.
Grahame was always interested in learning about research into their forebears as well as activities of the most recent generations.
A friend gone but not forgotten. Our thoughts are with Helen and families.

I was saddened and surprised to hear that Grahame had passed away. I shared a few moments with him at a recent school Old Boys Luncheon and he was in good spirits. My condolences to family. From school through to our working life and, more lately, at our Kings lunch gatherings, our paths crossed and recrossed and always most pleasantly. I am sorry I wont be there to say a last farewell.

As a 17 year old I recall meeting Gahame for the first time at Freyberg St. all those years ago. A lovely bloke. Sincerest condolences to Helen - and to that team of four. Fondly remembered.

With great sadness I post this message on behalf of my late Mother Najibie, my brother Edrick and myself, with the passing of our dear cousin.
We have lost the loveliest of souls to Heaven.
Grahame left the world a better place because he was in it and we are the richer, for having known him.
May his soul rest in eternal peace with God.
Always remembered fondly.
