Trish and family - a final farewell is harrowing. Perhaps a time to reflect very briefly on another aspect of Graham's life. He was a chairman of Main Beach Villas for many years, and we all benefited from his generosity of time and effort, plus his culinary skills. His friendship will be missed.

I have given the writing of this so much thought. Graham was a very important wheel in a group of people who were also great friends of mine. A tribute to Graham should reflect the strength of that group of friends. Dave Brodribb, Graham York. Jim Lindsay. Barry Rabarts, and so many more. Montana Restaurant and Graham and Trish´s hospitality. Graham had other Restaurants but there was only one Montana.I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing and my deepest condolences and most sincere sympathies to you all
