When I heard the news, I too was deeply upset, having worked with him and knowing him, but immediately I thought of how you were going to handle the news. Through your writing I can see you are handling it quite well in your memories :) RIP Graham, until we meet againAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118469047910807389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390631773223390410.post-62954299597281186972013-11-20T14:56:44.411-05:002013-11-20T14:56:44.411-05:00Matt,
Having been in "your" store for a...Matt,<br /><br />Having been in "your" store for almost a year now, I can attest to this, and I understand from the words written, the richness you have found from working with this wonderful man, and that is because I have found the same richness in only a year.<br /><br />Graham is a wonderful person, and a man of his word, if he said he was going to do something, he would do it, and he would do it for whomever with such care and such kindness. <br /><br />Matt, I will be forever grateful to have been able to share with Graham my life, through moments of laughter and cups of coffee. Since receiving the news yesterday, I have been thinking a lot about a quote that I read on the Internet some time ago, and it went like this. "We don't be the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living better, for the reaper will come for all of us. Is it what we do between the time we are born, and the time that he arrives that is important." And I can move on knowing that even though he is gone Graham did indeed beat the reaper, and he did that by being kind and having love in his heart.<br /><br />On a more personal note Graham, because I know you're watching - thank you for everything you've done for me over the last year, to say that you're my best friend I think would be a little bit premature, but you are indeed one of the best people I have ever met in my life. It was my honour to work with you for even such a short, short time, and my honour to be a small part of your circle of friends. <br /><br />To you Graham I bid farewell!
