Bugger, another good mate gone. Where did he pass away, at his home near Madang?

RIP Shaggs!

Anyone know where Graham’s brother Russel is these days?

He wasn’t well the last time I saw him, and that would have been about 10 years ago.

I seem to recall that he spelt his name Graym, although that was probably a Tok Pisin name as he was a PNG citizen and very proud of it and quite rightly so. Very sad loss.

Thought it was Grym. At least I think that was the spelling he once mentioned, but that was around 30 years ago!

Certainly was!

Very sad loss.
Em nau!

Been suggested he may have been on the Gold Coast; (unconfirmed) seeking medical attention.

GRAHAM (GRAYM) HAWTHORNE

Hi wantoks

I am Graham Hawthorne's sister so thank you for your kind comments regarding Graham's passing. Graham was only ill for a short period and passed away from an aggressive cancer. I notice there was someone asking of my brother Russell's whereabouts. If anyone would like to email me, my email address is [email protected]

I miss my big brother every day.

Rosie Hawthorne
