As I lie here, wide awake with jet lag, in an unfamiliar hotel room in Auckland, having just read Graham's Granddaughters' touching eulogy I have an image of Graham running through my mind. It is an image of a big man in every way. Big in stature, big in spirit and big in joie de vie. I met him when I joined Radcliffe Rotary over twenty years ago. He epitomised everything that is good about Rotary.indeed everything that is good about humanity. In all my years in the club I never heard him utter a bad word about anybody. He was the archetypal Rotarian. His quiet, almost diffident, manner of speech belied a man of great determination. You only need to look at how he looked after his beloved Myra in the last few years. I will miss his warmth, honesty and, above all the twinkle in his eye. I am sorry to be missing his funeral. I hope he finds a Rotary club in the sky somewhere.
Any Rotary club would be lucky to have him.
