Graham Thomas Armstrong

Many will remember him with a glass of good wine in hand and, most probably, speaking passionately about the environment, the cricket or the Navy Blues. He was forever the optimist, believing in the good of people and our ability to make the world a better place. 

Throughout his life, Graham enjoyed travelling the world outside of Australia with a long and special love for Canada, France and South Africa. His Canadian family and friends were grateful for his many visits, when travel was possible, spanning the vast physical distances. A long-standing Francophile, he loved all things French: from celebrating Bastille Day annually to never shying away from the opportunity to speak French with his very Aussie accent! He loved his work and continued to write his tri-annual Energy Development Reports right up until the last days of his life (the latest report to be circulated shortly). His career spanned six decades starting at GM Holden and ICG, continuing with several universities (RMIT & Monash), and the Canadian Government (INAC & EMR), then NIEIR and his own consulting firm GHDA Consulting and partnership in Saturn Corporate Resources. The last years of life were spent in Kyneton amidst the natural surrounds of the Macedon Ranges region where he felt most at home.

Family members - including his wife Holly; his children Susan, Jeff, Michelle, Garth and Emmett and their spouses; seven grandchildren; his sister Alison and her children; his sister-in-law Kate; his Clowes and Drummond cousins; his previous wife Beverley; his Canadian and Australian friends - and friends are saying goodbye now. Remembering, with love.

A celebration of life will be organized at a later time. Thoughts, stories, and photos may be shared here on this website.
