I have just received the following via email. We've lost another of our own. Chris, Was looking for my Aunty's funeral notice in the Newcastle Herald and came across this. Graham was a top bloke. I didn't serve with Graham but knew him from Muswellbrook High as a lad and our paths crossed on several occasions throughout my Naval career. He was a great mate of my brother Brian. I think Graham was a Chippy from memory... Graham was born in Orange NSW, grew up in Muswellbrook NSW and saw service in Vietnam on HMAS Sydney in 1971. Doc. NORTON GRAHAM FRANCIS Passed away peacefully Surrounded by family on 18th June 2010 Aged 58 Years Loving and devoted husband of KYM, loving father and father-in-law to KARINE and CHRIS COLEMAN, adoring pop to TAKIRA and RILEY. Dearly loved brother, son, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law and uncle. Relatives and Friends are respectfully invited to attend the Funeral Service celebrating GRAHAM's life to be held at the Newcastle Memorial Park Crematorium, Anderson Drive, Beresfield on THURSDAY 24/6/2010 commencing at 11.00am. Forever in our hearts Adamstown 4957 0237 Australian Owned RIP Graham |

Served with Graham early in my career and I would class him as one of the nicest and most professional Chippies I met. A couple of intakes ahead of me and he was a real role model. Very, very sad to be taken as such an early age. There come a time when life stops giving and starts taking Unfortunately for all of us that is what is happening. |
