Dr R. F. T. Grace ‘The Times’ of London recently paid tribute to a distinguished doctor of Maori descent, Richard Fairfax Tukino Grace, who died in London. Dr Grace, who was descended from the chiefly lines of Tuwharetoa, retired from his psychiatric
appointments in London three years ago. One of his grandfathers established a mission station on the south shore of Lake Taupo in 1855 and did much to help the Maori people, the newspapers recalled. ‘The Times’ said that Dr Grace was sent as a medical student to Edinburgh in 1914. During the Second World War he served in the R.A.F. as senior neuropsychiatric specialist. Later he was appointed consultant psychotherapist at the National Hospital, London. ‘His northern forebears and northern training made Dr Grace a good physician,’ ‘The Times’ said. ‘But in appearance he was a chieftain of long descent and his Maori ancestry gave him also the underlying gaiety that endeared him to so many companions.’
