VALE, GRAHAM BODY

We have lost one of the brightest stars in the masters hockey firmament with the sudden death on the 29th of October, of Graham Body from Illawarra. Graham was an Australian Representative player and superb administrator. He was the current NSW Masters Chairman of Selectors and a current Australian Masters selector. He was fit and fast and brought great vigour and passion to his approach on the pitch. He demonstrated an excellent knowledge of players and  completed his administrative duties with objectivity and integrity.
The entire Australian Masters Hockey community extends our sincere condolences to Graham's wife Dianne, his children Laura and Bradley and to his extended family members. 
Graham's funeral will be held on Wednesday 8 November at the Illawarra Hockey Stadium at 2pm. Hockey players are welcome to wear their team colours and bring their hockey sticks.
