With the deepest sadness we announce the passing of our dear Graham on September 11, 2024, after a courageous battle, aged 80 years.  He was the most dearly loved husband of Jill for 54 years.  Dearly loved father of the late Dayle, and Jane Grice.  Dearly loved Grandad of Harry, and Pixie.  Our special thanks to Dr Penny Holdaway, Palliative Care, St John Ambulance and the kindest nurses at Ward 1, Ashburton Hospital for their caring of Graham in his final days.  Graham was brought home before his final eternal rest.  And may he rest in eternal peace knowing he was loved and had so much love around him.  Messages to 12 Ascot Place, Ashburton.  At Graham’s request a private funeral has been held.  Graham will be deeply missed by many. “You toiled so hard and we are so proud you are ours”
