Vale Graeme Cumbrae-Stewart

We are saddened to announce the passing of our past Secretary Graeme Cumbrae-Stewart on Monday evening 24th August 2020, after a lengthy illness.

Our thoughts and best wishes are extended to his wife Helene during this difficult time.

Graeme was Secretary of the Foundation for 15 years, retiring in 2014 due to deteriorating health, bringing to an end a 55 year association with tennis administration through the Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation, the Glen Iris Valley Tennis Club, The Glen Iris Valley Recreation Club and Tennis Victoria.

Over the years, Graeme organised many of the successful AO Luncheons and other functions for members and along with Helene attended a number of Australia’s overseas Davis Cup ties as well as many home ties.
