Graham was born in Melton Mowbray, one of the 2 sons of Paul and Frances Tyrrell. After schooling in Melton, he undertook an apprenticeship with Stanton Staveley and during this time met his future wife, Pat, at Melton Rugby Club. He then worked for Ashwell & Nesbit Ltd on Barkby Road, Leicester and he and Pat were married in 1968 and set up home in The Row next to Pat’s parents community. This gave him an immense amount of pleasure and he made many friends in the 11 years he spent there. Prior to his illness, Graham volunteered as driver for the local South West Framland community lunches and became well known to many older people in the district through that. For a time, Graham was employed by Vabara Fabrications on Waterloo Way, Leicester, a business he and Pat were later to own for some 20 years. On relinquishing the business, Graham began another important chapter of his life in voluntary work, starting as a volunteer driver for the NHS, transporting patients with mental health issues. This led the way to being a training instructor at Linnaeus Nursery, again working with mental health patients in the Graham was a very competent cook and his dinner parties were legendary. He was particularly fond of classical music, regularly attending concerts at De Montfort Hall. A keen trout fisherman he also enjoyed walking and gardening, if pushed. Over the years Graham and Pat enjoyed many holidays – on the Isle of Skye throughout their daughter Claire’s childhood and touring in France, staying in gites. In later life they travelled widely in the Far East to China, India, Sri Lanka as well as to Egypt, Europe and closer to home in Norfolk. In his latter years Graham became increasingly incapacitated with progressive supranuclear palsy - a rare condition which is hard to diagnose and only affects about 6,000 people in the UK. Eventually he required 24-hour nursing care and received outstanding care at Aylsham Court Nursing Home. Graham was a loving and proud family man, a man who was gregarious yet appreciated his own space, someone who always worked hard and took great delight in helping others in any way he could. The large congregation in All Saints Church , Rotherby at the service to celebrate Graham’s life is an indication of how much he will be sadly missed by his family and wide circle of friends. 4 5 4 5 6 7 6 7 Local Roman Catholic Churches – Mass www.dioceseofnottingham.uk/parishes St. John the Baptist Thorpe End, Melton Mowbray LE13 Sun 9am 01664 562274 1RB St Francis Convent Dalby Rd Sat: 6pm, Sun 10.30am St. Gregory the Great 24, The Banks, Sileby LE12 7RE.
