It is with deep sorrow that we inform the passing of Graham, our esteemed convenor, on January 31st, following a fall at his residence.
Though no obituary can give due justice to this gentleman, a few words in his memory:
For having had the privilege of many catch-ups with Graham at his tea and coffee haunts in his native East Melbourne, I would always walk away feeling immeasurably enriched by the conversation. A friend and mentor, Graham was one person I regret not having met earlier in life.
A character in every sense of the word, his unusual combination of acerbic wit, brutal honesty, candid humour and ability to relate wisdoms and stories from his life experience was truly inimitable.
Above all, Graham was a man of unwavering personal integrity and values. With his passing, we have lost the most tireless and dedicated friend of our cause – the committee and fellow unitholders could not have asked for a more dogged and devoted advocate and battler.
Our thoughts are with Graham’s family and friends.
Rest in Peace Graham.

Graham and I got to know each other some two years ago when we independently became PXUPA activists. This led to the formation of PIGS, of which I was the inaugural Convenor, and hundreds of hours of joint work on behalf of Hybrid investors.
I have never met anyone with so much zeal, energy and commitment. Graham was one of a kind, truly inspirational, and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
The ‘good fight’ started by Graham will continue until Hybrid investors get what they rightly deserve.

A million thanks to Graham and the PIGS team for fighting for our rights. Eventually PXUPA holders will win the war, it’s just a matter of time. Give us your strength from up there Graham!!
Thank you everyone for your thoughts about Graham, and your friendship and support of him over this crusade. We know how much Graham will be missed.

If it was not for Graham and his tireless work on behalf of all PXUPA investors, myself and all others would be lost in the wilderness of ignorance of what to do with their loss. Out of thin air he created a movement that may become a model for others in the future. Thank you for your hard work, Graham.
To his family and friends, condolences in this time of loss.
