Vale Rev Graeme Kerr
This is to share the sad news that Rev Graeme Kerr passed away on Wednesday, February 9th 2022. He had a great impact on the life of St Andrew's Box Hill, and was a friend, mentor and Christian role model for many of us. Graeme was Minister of the Word at St Andrews from 16/02/2003 to 1/06/2008. He and his wife, June, continued to support worship at St Andrew's many times after Graeme's official retirement. In 2020, Graeme provided many wonderful written services for the St Andrews folk during the lockdown (see links to these services below). We are deeply grateful to Graeme and June for all that they did, and we are holding June, and the Kerr family, in our hearts.
The funeral service to celebrate Graeme's life is on Tuesday 15 February at 2.30pm at The Avenue Uniting Church (46 Blackburn Road, Blackburn). It is also possible to view a live stream of the service by visiting the Upcoming Services Page at selwynallenfunerals.com.au. Please visit these notice pages at either the Age or Herald Sun for more information on the funeral service.
