Dearest brother Graeme, we love you so much. From your siblings Mike, Vernie and Sandra, your many nieces and nephews, and your cousins. You were the leader of the Eriksen "pack".

Dearest Eriksen whanau. What deep sorrow and loss you must all be feeling. I am so sorry you have lost a wonderful husband, dad and grandad. The memories of our times with Graeme when we lived in Tahunga are of laughter and Bruce Springsteen dancing. My thoughts are with you all Xx

I was so sorry to get this news. Graeme was the perfect gentleman. Growing up, Chris and Graeme were what I considered to be the epitome of old-school masculinity and charm. Like the "James Bonds" of Gisborne. It´s clearly an Eriksen family trait. I´m really sorry for your loss everyone. Thinking of you all xx
