RUDDENKLAU, Graham Charles
Much loved uncle to Howard, Martin, Carolyn and Nigel (Taylor). Our family path moved away from Hawke’s Bay but it remains a special place in our hearts. Our mother, Margaret Ethel Taylor loved and admired her younger brother and now they are together with John. Graham will be missed for his love of life and joy he brought to others around him. Rest in peace.
