JIM BANNERMAN writes:

It seems that Graham has been involved in all aspects of our profession for as long as we can remember. But the most memorable facets of his life were his integrity and his wonderful sense of humour. They were certainly on display over the last few months of his long and fulfilled life.

Graham dedicated his pharmaceutical service to one area of Glasgow and he was immensely proud when his daughter Gillian took over the pharmacy.

He worked with us in the organisation of the British Pharmaceutical Conference held in Glasgow in 1971. Unfortunately, his wife Reata reluctantly resigned from the ladies committee because of ill health. When Reata died some two years later, Graham gave himself totally to looking after his two young daughters by himself. This became a consuming challenge. He was an immensely successful single parent.

He always lived a full life. He helped run the Glasgow Pharmacy Golfing Society, of which he was the honorary captain. He made many friends in this field, especially in the matches he arranged with Irish pharmacists.

Graham derived great pleasure from being with people and being part of pharmacy. I recall enjoying an Australian conference with him, but I know the highlight for him was not the conference but the concert which he took me to at the Opera House.

His life was rich and he freely shared it with so many friends. We are lucky to have known the generosity of spirit that was embodied in Graham Tarbet.
