As others have already said, Graham was one of the best. He always had a smile on his face and would bend over backwards to help people. My heart breaks for his wife and gorgeous girls. He will be greatly missed. He surprised us at camp one day with a stainless steel hot water system he'd made for us. Of course when we offered to throw some cash his way he refused. He had a big, big, heart. I'll think of him whenever we use that thing now. RIP mate.

Vale big man,  a big man in all ways.  If my world is less for you not being in it I simply cannot fathom how big the hole is that your wife and gorgeous girls now feel. 

To know you was to love you ya great big bugger!!

I will always have my first beer at every campsite for you!
