RIP Graeme. True gentleman and it was a pleasure knowing.
Don't know how many times we put the world to right with the conversations we had.
Was a pleasure knowing you.
God Bless m8

One of the jobs good guys, he was a gentleman. I will remember fondly the deep meaningful conversations during which we would try and put our respective football teams to right.

He was a lovely lad, easy to talk to and get on with and always willing to help if he could. Loved his family and he will be missed terribly by them and his many friends. Rest in peace Graeme.

Graeme was a pleasure to work with. Always loyal and always told you as it was. If he didn’t agree with something he told you. He always had the best interests of the job at heart.
He was a good copper, a good operator and knew most of what was going on, especially in his home Town of Spennymoor.
Bumped into Graeme just a few weeks ago and we sat on a wall and chatted for ages. He was, as always, very pleasant and we had a good laugh about all sorts of things.
I will remember that day as it summed up Graham to a tee. Down to earth with loads of common sense and a sense of humour to boot. That’s what made him such a good copper and a good person.
Rest in Peace Graeme.
