My family and i have know Graham for nearly 20 years and very sad to hear the news yesterday about his death. As you will read on here he was a huge Stokie and a very brave and couragous family man.

RIP Graham.
I went to school with his son Giles, We were good mates. His dad was always a good laugh. No matter what what ever scrapes we got in I can never remember Graham dishing out a bollocking, apart from when i wrote my name on his car in the dirt. I'm sure he was only mad because he had to wash it ;D
As life goes on and we all get older you realize how cruel life is. God bless and my thoughts are with all the Pepper family.
Mark. Pooldam school of 87

Graham - We grew up together and travelled all over the country supporting Stoke we had numerous good times. I will remember you always, especially every time I visit the Brit. You were a special mate for 60 years! You fought your illness with courage and dignity yet during these times you always showed consideration and concern for other people and especially my family and we offer our sympathy to all yours at this sad time.
Rest in peace mate. You were the best!
Brian and family xx

Graham was a Great bloke and a True Stoke fan. He was gutted when he couldnt go to the match because of his illness. Graham built my extension and half of those on Westbury Park and Clayton! He will be sadly missed but will no doubt be giving em "Maggie May" and "Delilah" when he gets up there. RIP Graham, condolences to Carol, his family and friends.
If and when anyone gets to find out the time and date of the funeral could it please be posted on here? I for one would love to go and pay my last respects to a top top bloke!

I am a friend of Graham's family and I thought that I'd let you all know that your words are a source of comfort to them. Also, various posts from this thread will be,"...designed into a picture and framed for the funeral next week".
I was only talking to him a couple of weeks ago - a top, top bloke and he will be very sadly missed.

He did an extension on our house a few years back.
Ive just informed my parents about his passing and my mum was telling me what a wonderful caring person he was and how he always helped his elderly neighbour.
My parents also asked where and when the funeral is because they would like to pay there respects to "such a wonderful person"
Rest in Peace from the Sands family x

One of my memories I will always remember of Graham was when I was last over. The first friday I was there in the Duke of York pub having a drink, bumped into is sister literally got talking, phoned Graham, 15 mins later he was in the Duke. He took me out every friday and saturday for 2 months and stoke games some away.
Then to cap it off he was working somewhere in Cheshire, so the morning I left he picked me up with the workmen dropped them off. Went on to Manchester airport were my flight was delayed for 2 hours, but he still stayed with me. He will always be in my thoughts.

We as a family would like to thank each and every one of you for your kind messages, wishes and support. Graham would have been so over whelmed with all of this; he will be greatly missed by all.
The funeral will be at St Pauls Church Newcastle- on Wednesday the 7th October at 1.30pm.
The Pepper Family xxx

RIP Pep we used to play football on the land next to St Paul's church where his funeral service is taking place, unfortunately as we are abroad we won't be able to attend and I would like to wish Carol and all the family our sincere condolences.
