    A remarkable man who loved his children. Always great company with an mountain of jokes. Stories for every occasion. A proud Scot through and through. We are disappointed that we did not catch up in recent times. We will have a wee one for you Graham. Off on the Highland Way.

    Cheers, Ian and Fay Barron and family

    Like brothers for 50 years...never a dull moment and no holds barred when it came to jokes and stories. My heart goes out to Claire and Thomas who dropped everything to spend time with him while he fought the good fight. I'm so glad they did as when the end came it was quick, denying them the time to say farewell.

    He was larger than life and we shall all miss him and his humour.

    We've lost an irreplaceable friend in Graham. A man of firm principles, integrity, dependability and generosity, coupled with an inexhaustible supply of jokes even in his darkest hours. What more could anyone want in a mate.

    Our best wishes got to Tom and Claire in this very trying time.

  • NICCOL GRAHAM Graham was a wise and personable friend to us for fifty years. From the diving days and the many social gatherings, his humour was unique and his presence a gift. He met life's obstacles with a positive attitude and a funny story.

    A life well-lived.

    Fond memories from Kevin and Malcolm - The Three Musketeers.

    Our deepest sympathy to Thomas, Claire and family. We have lost such a larger than life character. Sadly missed. John and Anne.
