The grieving widow of a multimillionaire businessman planned to 'grow old with him', before he was allegedly stabbed to death by a teenager at a house party.
Universal Store co-founder and CEO Greg Josephson, 58, died inside his Clayfield home on June 26 as over two dozen teenagers partied in the sprawling home.
Police discovered his body in an upstairs room of the $5million mansion about 8pm. A 15-year-old boy known to Mr Josephson was charged with murder.
On Monday, hundreds of family members and friends gathered at St Agatha's Catholic Church in Brisbane to farewell Mr Josephson.
His wife, Tamra Josephson, told mourners her husband was a kind-hearted and beautiful man she had been looking forward to growing old with.
His number was saved in her phone under the name 'Gregory handsome'.
'Some couples grow apart as time goes by. We weren't like that. I loved him more each year we were together and I know he felt the same way,' she said.
'We had discussed how we looked forward to spending more time together just the two of us. We loved each other's company. He was the most gentle, soft, kind-hearted, generous, calm, positive, happy, intelligent man I have ever met.'
