Tom 2nd September 2020

Hi Debbie Jay and Ash , really surprised and sorry to here of Grahams passing , i last spoke to him and Debbie one morning in lower hutt possibly 2 years ago , and we caught up on your boys news and were you all are in your lives . Tom and Josh also pass on there thoughts and we all had a we laugh about the " middle game"and how he loved that and he taught us all players and coaches so much . Graham was a great guy a welcome smile and genuine interest in all he was involved with . Boys he was so proud of you two and his smile and that big happy look came up when we spoke of you . Debbie he allways adored you and you did so much together im so sad for you . we also spoke about the wonderful cricket trips with the Brodie , Corliss , Hewson ,Newdick boys with i think Lorcon and maybe Fraser Hanson to Riverbend cricket camps lots of fun and a pleasure to share . i remember the game against Karori and John Dean , Deanos old man , had a crack at graham about Jays age and being in the team , graham wouldn't have a bar of it and pulled out Josh and Slugger corliss and fraser as being too young for the grade , Graham being Graham wouldn't be intimidated by any one . thinking of you all at this time and just wanted to pass on the respect and kind thoughts for Graham look after each other Tom Brodie
