May he find a place amongst the stars where there is a good pub and a decent gin and tonic.

Graham ,
My Big brother in the Airforce.
I am so lucky to have shared such colourful and happy times with you. Times and conversations that shaped my life and gave me insight into my Dads life and who he was and what made me the person I am.
I am so lucky to have shared my life with such an interesting and fun group of people who I call my family. The laughs, the trips, the parties,the tears, the love.
You were so many times the centre of the good times, fun, humour and laughter in your visits to us.
Sarcasm & whit delivered with a smile and a wink.
I will always feel inextricably linked to you and Dad in so many ways and I so wish I'd have grown up with you and Mal and Biddy.
As we discussed many times,
the departed live on in our hearts and minds forever.
You will never leave my heart or mind and I will always know you are in both ..
Rich

Dear Graham,
I am lucky to have the fond memories of you that I do, in your dry sense of humour, your wicked sense of fun and your fabulous stories and retelling of your life's incredible adventures.
I am lucky to have the memories of the times I spent with you in my childhood and in the last few years, listening to your advice and making fun of life.

Always a gentleman, a man with admirable strength and determination and forever in our hearts. Xxxxx

Dear Flt Lt Graham Turfrey.

Although I never knew you in person, however I am proud that I knew of your name very well through a friend.

Your spirit will always live on and touch the hearts of those who you love and cherished, and may your memory live on forever more in the hearts of those who knew you on the Vulcan Force, especially the famous 'Dambusters' 617 Squadron.

R.I.P

Kindest regards

Dave

Grandson of 617 Squadron (Dambusters) Vulcan Crew Chief, John 'Bob' Martin :)

God bless graham, you are now at peace. I will always be grateful to you for being in my life, we had a lot of fun times and memories made. You were a wonderful dad to Kelly and gave her all the love and support she needed to become the strong beautiful woman she has become, who I know you were proud of, and I am thankful that we were friends that continued to share good times and memories. Sleep tight and love always Tracy xxxx
