Graham was Chaplain Choral of Chester Cathedral and a teacher at the Choir School before moving on to Rossall School. Fondly remembered by pupils of the Choir School, he was a strong supporter of the Choristers’ Association. Pictured above is Graham, alongside the late Rev. Dennis Kelly and his son Julian Kelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former pupil of Rossall posted this tribute to him on FuneralGuide which sums up what most people felt when they came into contact with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham became Dragon Crescent Housemaster in 1983 and I had the pleasure of knowing him as House Captain in 1985. From all in my year including …… and all ‘housemates’ in Dragon Crescent during my tenure … he was a dutiful, true and kind gentleman who had everyone’s best interests at heart. On behalf of everyone in DC may I share our sadness at this time but remember with fondness the time we spent at school under his ‘watch’.
Rest in peace Graham … you did an EXCELLENT job my friend!
