I was deeply saddened to hear of Graham's passing, and I wanted to reach out to let you know how much he meant to those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him.

I had the honour of being his manager, and I can honestly say he was one of the finest people I've worked with. He brought genuine warmth and positivity to everything he did, and he was deeply respected, not just for his work, but for who he was as a person.

Watching him navigate his cancer journey with such grace and strength left a lasting impression on me. And knowing that he chose to spend his final years close to the people he loved most says everything about what truly mattered to him.
He will be greatly missed, and I carry with me many fond memories of our time working together.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that he is being remembered with tremendous fondness and respect.

With warm regards
Aaron Holmwood
