My dad was the greatest person alive in my eyes. He brought laughter where ever he went. He was my rock when i had my little boy. I never thought i would see the day that i would be without my dad. I miss all the silly things he use to say and do and how he was always there for me whenever i needed him to be. I miss you always and forever dad and until we meet again may you rest in peace!! Love you so much!!!

Another year passed!

Dad another year as gone by. I am now 2 years into life without you it doesnt even feel like it was yesterday you left me. People say that it gets easier as time goes on but it doesnt, i jus learn to live with the fact that am never goin to see you again. darren as come on loads but hes still a pain in the rear. He talks about you all the time. we both miss you very much and wish you was here to see all the new changes that have been made to our lives. if only i could see your face and and here your voice again that would be the best thing that could happen to me, but i know i cant. I miss and love you so much dad and i really hope that our paths cross again oneday and your my dad again because i couldnt have asked for a better dad in the whole wide world. love and miss you loads. xxxxxxx

Graham, what a bloke you were! One of the craziest and weirdest people walking across eastwood- but that's why everyone loved you, and still love you.

I have far too many memories of you to list here, needless to say they are all great memories.

Your love for Jackie and Darren was amazing and it will live on through them both, as well as little Graham and David.

Thankyou for raising one of the best friends I have been blessed to have. We have such good conversations about you and your mad ways!

Rest in Peace Graham- leave Elvis alone (he he)!!

Jackie's Dad

I only knew you as 'Jackie's Dad' but before that you were the man who came at 5 to 8 to buy luncheon meat after I had wrapped everything up! Once I started talking to you though I found what a really funny bloke you were! Our lengthy chats about Elvis over the Deli counter were a joy! It was obvious that you loved and cared about Jackie and Darren so much, and although I didn't know you very well, you seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke. RIP and bet you are chatting away with Elvis in Heaven!

I have just been reading your tribute to your dad,it is really lovely. I did not know your dad personally but knew him by sight. My brother Kevin knew him well. The reason I am writing Is because your dad always used to leave flowers on my dad and brothers grave when he went to visit your grandmas grave so this is why Iam paying a tribute to him for his thoughtfulness and kindness. Keep srong ang godbless.

I had only met Graham a few times before he died, he always always made me laugh!! He was so wacky and funny that you couldnt help but like him. I will never forget walking into his flat and being surrounded by Elvis things everywhere!

I know the pain it has caused you Jackie to lose your dad, he would be so proud of you and Darren for how well you have coped.
