Deepest sympathy to you, Kim, and your family! ?
Your father seems to have had a life well lived and was definitely well loved. I adored the photos you would post of him at dinner with you, always with a glass of wine at hand. Deepest sympathies to you and your brothers.
Graham was a wonderful man so glad I was able to get to know him and share time at the river house with you both.
I’ll always remember Graham’s easy laughter, his patience, the twinkle in his eyes, and his abiding love for his family, his dogs, and the water. The world was a better place while Graham was with us, and long may his memory and spirit live in the hearts of those who loved him best.
Deepest sympathies for your loss.
I am so grateful to you for sharing him with us. You have immortalized him.
