It is with deep regret that I have to write this announcement.
Ralph's twin brother Graham passed away during the night after fighting a long period of illness. Graham was a very good club runner and represented the club at many events. I remember him competing at the London Marathon, Gt North Run and Sutton Park in the Masters relays.
He succumbed to the terrible Parkinson's Disease and was cared for in a home for the last year or two and then recently his health further deteriorated and he spent some time in UHW. He leaves a son and daughter, Matthew his son also ran for Les Croups for a short time.
Our thoughts are with Ralph and the Family at this very sad time.

I was very sorry to read Mel's message, Graham gave me a great welcome, along with Ralph, when I first joined the club in 1992, and gave me good advice also. R.I.P. Graham.

Graham, you were a top man. Always kind, courteous and considerate, it was a pleasure to have known you. Sincere condolences to Ralph, Matthew and the rest of the family. We'll miss you at Les Croups and we'll miss you at the City. Most of all we'll miss one of life' most decent people. RIP Graham, you were one of the best.

Really sorry to hear this news - Graham was a lovely man and I remember him being a regular when we used to go to the Conway on Sundays some years ago. Will be sadly missed.

We were very sad to hear the news about Graham. Our thoughts are with his family and friends who have supported him over difficult times. Graham was always so thoughtful and didn't have a bad word to say about any one. We both have fond memories of him.
Gill and Mike Murphy
