The obituary notice of Robert John Obe GRAHAM

Robert will be remembered with great affection by myself and my husband Dave.
We spent many happy times together when Robert was Chair of the Nottingham Friends of Home Farm Trust and we were on the fundraising committee with him.
May he now rest peacefully.

Robert was an absolute delight and a huge support to me together with Jean and John following the death of both my parents in a RTA. He followed my career closely at the University of Nottingham and I will always be indebted to him and his family. He was extremely proud of Nottingham University Medical School. Rest in peace Robert, love and thanks for all your support Nic xxx

Robert was the first person appointed to the new Nottingham Medical School in the late 60s and went on to play a central role until his retirement in the 90s. He had rare diplomatic skills, bringing the NHS and University together in the crucial early years and skilfully managing the hostility of the General Medical Council to new-fangled ideas. He was also probably the only person who truly knew his way around the Queen’s Medical Centre, having been deeply involved in its commissioning! Robert was a delightful and remarkable person who was liked and respected in equal measure. Sir Peter Rubin
