A great friend and a large presence, not always bobbing along with the flow, but a true Yorkshireman who said what he liked and liked what he said, you will be sadly missed by many, especially me.

Rest in peace Greame and find that tranquil eddy,

Your friend Dave

Graham managed to make me smile when Proteus burned down with his simple generosity.

If there is anything I can do to help in any small way please let me know.

So sorry to hear of this loss, our deepest sympathies go to the family at this difficult time, he will truly be missed by the many he has helped and supported over the years.

My lasting memory will always be of Mallory's first ever descent of the Tryweryn along with yourself Heather. It was some years ago now, the two of you just kept on going. Every step of the way right down to the campsite there was Graeme with his trusty throwline. I will never forget the peace of mind it gave me that he was there. Thank you again Graeme, may you rest in peace.

Elaine Franklin.

This is deeply saddening news. I'm as shocked as everyone else.

I knew Graeme through my sister Ruth. He was a big guy with a big heart. I shall not forget the generocity and enthusiasm that he gave in his key role in the organisation of the Cancer Challenge polo matches.

My deepest sympathies go out to Cas, Heather, Sara and Wendy. I can appreciate how you all must be feeling.
