Graham was reported missing aged 63, while out walking with his dog in the Newlands Valley in Cumbria on Wednesday November 22, 2006 and his body was found, with Sooty his faithful labrador beside him on Thursday November 23 after a massive search by members of Keswick Mountain Rescue. Graham is survived by his wife Sheila and son Anthony. Sooty has since been awarded the South East Dog of the Year for his role in the rescue.
The family and his fellow brothers in the Catenian Association were deeply grateful to Keswick Mountain Rescue for everything they did.
