Dear Mrs. Nie, Andrew, Rich, and Bob,
I'm so extremely sorry to hear about Graham's passing, I am truly saddened by this news.
I don't know where the time has gone, but in many ways it seems as though it was only yesterday that we were all catching the bus together or playing road hockey in front of your house. I will always remember Graham as the tallest (I'm sure everyone has heard the story of him hitting his head on tne garage door), kindest, and most compassionate father of all the Dad's I had met. I was always struck by how he and Marion were such an incredible team together and how they managed to raise 3 of the most remarkable and upstanding boys you could ever meet. Trust me, raising 3 sons in Bridgenorth could have played out entirely different than it did, but I think it speaks to the strength of Graham's character, that his family turned out the way they did. In fact, in many ways they are just like him: extraordinarily kind, compassionate, loyal ... and tall.
Graham Nie was an incredible husband, father, and neighbour, and I for one, am so thankful to have known him.
Thinking of all of you during this difficult time,
Mark, Jane, and Violet
