Graeme was a gentleman, a loving family man; AND a passionate barbershop performer, director, coach and supporter and he spent his last 45 years following his passion. We knew him for 36 of those years, enjoying and sharing their family milestones, and marvelled at his science talents, his commitment to this shared hobby and overall warmth and caring. His was a life well lived.
