Vale Graham. :( Thumbs up Graham .. RIP
« on: November 04, 2015, 08:31:08 AM »
Thursday night while packing I put the sand flag setup on the car for a test run... All mounted up nicely... Drove thru carport, now horizontal in bits... :(

Quick phone call to Graham and his shed of tools from hell, welders, scrap stuff, and every tool you can imagine...
15 mins later, and all fixed and got me out of Shit for th weekend;

so Thanks Graham again!

With great sadness i heard today about the loss of a great bloke. A swagger who would help anyone at the drop of a hat. A fantastic bloke to have around the campfire.  Someone that has left way too early and left a young family without a father who thought the world of his kids.

I have been in the shed today welding away just like he would have for many others. My thoughts are with Graham's family and once i know more about the funeral arrangements i will pass them on.

I'm just absolutely Gutted and devastated since I've heard the news. We have all lost an absolute golden champion of the highest order who a lot of us knew well and spent a lot of time with.

Out hearts go out to his beautiful family. I can't fathom how they are feeling at the moment.

Just gutted

Rip Graham, what a great person you were, a character who was always a shining light. 
You will NEVER be forgotten mate.

So sad to hear especially at this time of the year.
What was his forum name. There would be a lot of others who wouldn't know him as Graham.

Here is his profile http://www.myswag.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2268

... and a photo of his 2 young daughters who he was really devoted too...
Always had time for them, would stop what he was doing in the shed, and kiss them goodnight etc..

Really really a top bloke.
