It’s with the heaviest heart in the world that I have the job of letting you all know that 14 months after his 6-9 month cancer diagnosis Graeme passed away peacefully last night.

RLFans brought him into my life and for that I’ll always be grateful. Many people here were a big part of our lives and I have many treasured memories of meet ups, drunk nights in the Cabbage Patch, and one particularly nightmare trip on a London Brocos/Harlequins coach trip to Leeds that resulted in a coach load watching the match on tv in a service station bookies.

No matter if you loved him or loathed him thank you for your part in his/our journey over the years.

Very sad news.

Awful news. Sorry to hear of your loss - condolences to family & friends.

We didn't always agree but I had nothing but respect for his views and depth of knowledge.

Never met him but online here I always regarded him as a top bloke. RIP BG

Sorry to hear the news.

Thank you for all the lovely comments and shared memories that people have posted and/or sent me.

Graeme had an appropriately religion free funeral last Friday and there was as much celebration of his life as we could manage.

His fund set up to raise a few quid for the cancer charity who done so much for him personally in the year he was ill has topped £1000 and I'm sure he'd be delighted as, in typical Graeme style, he felt funeral flowers were a complete waste of money. There was a rugby ball arrangement though, it felt very fitting and summed up at lot of his life.

Thank you again for any small part you played in his life and our journey.

Julie

Have just seen this after not visiting the Sin Bin for a while.

So sorry Julie, don't hesitate to PM me if you need any help in what we've talked about due to our circumstances in the past. Top bloke was Graeme, he will be missed in here.
