Thinking of you today. It's been three years and you and mum are always in my thoughts.

Graham and I joined HASSRA at the same event. A 36 hole competition on a championship course. Graham had a total of three balls which he lost fairly quickly. After that we and our wives became good friends enjoying days out often including food soemwhere. His cheerfulness, his joy of life was something that carried me many a mile round the M25 as we went to play in yet another godforsaken place (otherwise known as Kent or Essex). Our golf was a bit like his beloved Arsenal this season brilliant one minute, brilliantly awful the next but we soldiered on even through his fad for Zen golf. It's a shame we never went fishing what tales we would have had of the one that got away. What a great partner and friend.

A great loss of a much loved and respected true friend. Brian & Linda

Graham was not only my next-door neighbour for 15 years but also my friend and I remember him for his wit and sense of humour. Graham’s love of golf and Arsenal was apparent to all that knew him well. Graham used to tell me how his dad used to take him to football matches at Highbury. Graham used to give me the Arsenal team news and what he thought of the team selection and our chances of winning. I do miss that! I miss our daily communication and no longer receiving text messages from Graham. One of Graham’s favourite food was samosas. He would ask me “When are you going to be making your samosas?”. When I would take them round, he would be so pleased and say, “Much better than Waitrose”. Graham introduced me to golf. He gave me a few golf training sessions. Told me “I was a natural”. However, I think he probably said that to make me feel good. Although he did not admit it, Graham was competitive when it came to golf. When his golfing colleagues came and presented him with the “Graham Try Captains Day Claret Jug” they were doing in his honour, Graham was so pleased with the gesture. He told me he had been a member of that golf club for 25 years and captain for two. With regards to clothing, Graham totally disliked branded goods. Two years ago, when we were going on a family holiday to Florida, I asked Graham if he wanted me to get him any designer clothes as the boys would be spending a lot of time in the shopping malls buying designer labels. Graham was mortified and said he would never wear a designer brand and if I dare buy him one, he will remove the designer label. Graham was a true gentleman and will be hugely missed by all of us. Pam, Ken and the boys xxx

Having known Graham for a number of years, we will remember him for his welcoming smile and infectious laugh. He was always cheerful and inclusive - he always made one feel at ease in his company. He will be greatly missed by many, including us. Although it is sad to have to say goodbye to Graham, it is also a blessing for him to be released from his recent illness. We also know that Graham would be joyous to be re-united with his dear wife. He will remain forever in our hearts as a very dear friend. Here’s a toast to you, Graham, as you make your journey to a better place. May you rest in peace. With fondest memories, Chris and Yen xx

Remembering the very best next door neighbour anyone could wish for. We shared many happy hours during our 25 years at No. 26 and beyond, with both Janice & Graham. Helping each other out, when we got in a pickle. The there were the Beer Fest's in our garden, some stories not for general reading but all very happy memories, I could go on.......... A picture follows To Lorraine, Phil & Dave, Just remember how much he was loved and take comfort from that Gerry and Richard

From Peter Rayner. Rita and I met both Graham & Janice on the tarmac at Egina airport Greece. Quite different people to us but, we hit it off and stayed in each other's company for the rest of the holiday. From then on we had many weekends away with them in England but, also abroad. Never a bad moment always good fun. I think it was Rita my wife who introduced Graham to Golf, perhaps a life saver for him at the time. There was the one time we were all going to Wales in my Company car which broke down on the M25 on the way to them. They were flabbergasted when we turned up with my car on the back of a recovery vehicle, poor Graham had to take his car and do all the driving! A very insular couple but, I think we got them out into the big world! Both Graham and Janice are sadly missed.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Graham. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
