1962 Murray Vernon Quartemaine (1931-2011) married Ute Tine Gudrun Ritter
Mr Quartermaine was a pioneer of Perth's travel industry in the 1970s until he became the highest profile victim of conman Christo Moll when he signed his family company Quartermaine Travel over for $1.2 million in shares which were later proved worthless. His first marriage to Ute, with whom he had sons Lance and Mark and daughter Simone, later collapsed.
Quartermaine was brutally murdered, aged 79, in 2011, in his South Perth home by a delusional Frenchwoman… (reference) (reference) Mark Quartermaine told the congregation at his father’s funeral how his father's strong character helped him start again.
"In 1979 at the age of 49 when he had to rebuild his life again, dad showed strength and determination," he said. "He relaunched his international business career which he did with the help of many people here today."
One of those people was Alan Bond, who gave Mr Quartermaine the job of selling Tooheys beer to British drinkers in London for the Bond Brewing Group. It was in London that Mr Quartermaine met his second wife Yetunde, with whom he had a 12-year-old daughter Fiona.
Lance Quartermaine said his father, who was a fifth generation West Australian, shared his love of culture and fine things with everyone he met:
"Our childhood home at East Fremantle was party central. I think that's where they invented the long lunch which became the early dinner". (reference)
