Tribute to Graeme Bloy

I first worked with Graeme at Chauvco Resources and then again at Canada Capital Energy Corp (CCEC) where we worked together for 4 years.  He was the G&G Manager and was the best boss, mentor and manager I ever had.  

I loved working with Graeme because he didn’t care if you were female, he cared if you were smart and had critical thinking skills.  He would hand me a project and say basically “Figure it out and if you have questions, then come see me”.  It was so rewarding to be able to dive into projects and piece together the steps to complete them with his guidance.  He was a visionary and we were working on creating a new software product to help Geoscientists’ workflows.

Graeme’s love of geology and passion was looking at the rocks.  He didn’t drill a well or evaluate a reservoir without going through the cuttings or analyzing core.  He loved sharing his knowledge and helping others to learn and appreciate the information the rocks revealed.

Graeme added so much life and fun into the workplace.  He would often walk down the halls saying, “Get to work” and laugh.  LOL!  He loved to blast rock music from his office and a favourite song that we both loved was 1983’s “Send Me an Angel” by Real Life. 

It was so great when Graeme shared pictures of his latest travels.  He was an amazing photographer and thrived when he was underwater in his carbonate element!  His thousands of photos of fish are unrivaled!  One of my bucket list items is to walk the Camino after Graeme shared his stories and photos of being a pilgrim walking the trail.

I am so grateful for knowing Graeme and I miss his intellect, talking with him about all his various interests, his laughter, goofy ways and most of all his loyal friendship.
