Anglers Bid Sad Farewell To Corrimal Club's Treasurer
Illawarra Mercury
Friday July 4, 2003
ON a sad note I have to report the death of Allan Graham, a foundation member of the Corrimal Leagues Club Fishing Club.
``Pud", as he was known by Illawarra anglers, was the treasurer of the Corrimal Fishing Club practically since its formation.
Fishing club president Helga Lovstad said: ``Pud was that keen a treasurer he even gave me a note the last time I visited him in hospital before he passed away with the name of everyone who owed the club money."
We all say farewell to Allan ``Pud" Graham, and thank him for being part of our lives over the past decade
