In Loving Memory of Pat Grace

Pat Grace left an indelible mark on Unity Day. As the original designer of the Unity Day Programme, his vision created a structure still used today. He also took and designed a kaleidoscope of photos and collages that truly brought Unity Day to life in print.

A gifted graphic designer and musician, Pat played guitar on our main stage, adding creativity and warmth to the event he helped shape.

In 2004, he received the Unity Day Community Recognition Award for his invaluable work behind the scenes, quietly forming the foundations of Unity Day's . He never sought recognition, remained humble, and carried a natural charisma that touched many.

A truly modest gentleman, without ego, his legacy lives on in Unity Day and in all who knew him.
