Tributes

GRAHAM was an amazing father, friend, advisor. He was a strong and loving person for his family and friends. And he was loved and admired in return by a wide circle of people he touched during his lifetime. I was happy to be one of those people. He will remain in our hearts and prayers for as long as we live. Anyone can be forgotten, but not a man who has chosen a life of selflessness and generosity. I pray your family to count me among your sincere friends and hope that they will find in my respectful thoughts a little comfort. Sleep in peace my dear dad you will be greatly missed

“Carve your name on hearts, not on tomb stones. A legacy is erected into the minds of others and the stories they share about you… Shannon Alder.” Graham was such a powerful and influential character, patient and understanding personality. He was not just huge in figure but in brain and heart. “As the saying goes, good people don't leave long” your legacies will forever remain in my mind and that of others. Until we meet one day, I pray for a repose of your gentle soul.
