Uncle Graham and Auntie Joy welcomed me into our family as if I was one of their own. Unc had the best smile and a dirty laugh. My last memory of them both was coming to our villa on holiday in Spain for a BBQ and they bought enough food food for a week! He will be sadly missed. RIP you wonderful man x
At this very sad time we remember all the years we were so much more than neighbour’s, and were welcomed into the Botfield family.
Hot summer days and Graham’s free flowing home made wine.
A pleasure to have been part of your family.
Be at peace.

Love & Sympathy to all the Family.

What can we say, as soon as we got to know Joy and Graham we were family. Such a special couple with a lovely loving family, always accepting us always welcoming us. We loved them both very much, and am grateful for all the years of them being a part of our lives. I can remember going up the Super Marine club on a Saturday night laughing at the comedians only I spent more time laughing at Joy’s laugh it was so infectious. And Mick has great memories of times in Spain and travelling with Graham through Spain. We love them both and all the family , and now the three are together and at peace, and we have our precious memories.
Sending our love and condolences at this sad time, love from Nigel and Sue Wagstaff and all our family back in England.
In loving memory of Graham, a lovely man and great friend to our dad Pete.
We are sure they will share a pint and talk about the memories they made together ?
Graham, my life is better having known you!
I will miss our monthly chats and I feel blessed that we talked about so many things from Joy, to your beautiful family, to all your friends in Spain and Sue!
You really were a true gentleman. May you rest peacefully!
many happy years working together and friendship glad we kept in touch with you and joy for over fifty years

To the best father-in-law that a girl could wish for. Thank you Graham for welcoming me into the Botfield Family with open arms and with the biggest hug in the world. I have so many happy and wonderful memories that I will cherish forever.You always called me Lis as you could never say my name and I always loved that about you. I will miss your cheeky smile and making your baileys coffee. Miss & love you lots xxxx
Gra,
I miss you so much. You were my partner for one short year, but you made me so happy. What memories we made together, the laughter we shared daily and the wonderful friends we introduced each other to.
Our lives were intertwined for more than 30 years with your Joy and my Jim. What great time we all had together here and in Nerja.
You now have Joy and Donna to take care of you and my Jim to have a pint with.
All my love always. XXX
What can you say about a near perfect person? He made the sun shine wherever he was or whoever he was with.
The saying goes: there are many folk who walk in and out of your life, but only the special ones leave footprints on your heart.
Graham yours are cemented in ours.
Although I only met you a few times it seems so unfair that your time on earth has passed. I know you and Sue only had a few short months together but you made each other so happy, and enjoyed many lovely times in what was to be your last year.
RIP Graham and thank you for making my friend so happy.
Rosemarie Craig
We were devastated of the news of Graham he was a lovely man and friend.
Fond memories of Joy and Graham and lovely times at barbeques especially at Jim and Sue’s good fun and always a glass to many. We were so pleased Graham and Sue got together a year ago they were marvelous for each and so happy creating memories along the way. Re-United with Joy and Donna RIP Gray god bless Shirley and Tony
Dad,
This is so difficult to write but we are on the eve of saying goodbye to you.
You were a very proud man who loved life and laughter with family and friends all over the world (especially Nerja) .
There are no words to say , except I will miss you so much and I am simply so gutted to loose you so quickly.
Your cheeky grin and fun loving infectious smile will live on in everyone’s hearts.
I am sure that everyone who knows you will have a funny heart warming story to share about you Dad . I am looking forward to hearing from all the lovely people that have sent such lovely messages about you Dad it’s truly touching.I want to thank you all for those message and also the generous donations that you have given towards helping The Prospect Hospice a cause very close to our families hearts. We are looking forward to getting together to celebrate Dads life when we all can all join together.
Up the Gunners Dad , Sleep well and go to be with mum and Donna. ❤️❤️❤️ XXX
Graham was a lovely man with a real zest for life. I had only met him a couple of times but was a real gent.
He will be missed xx
Sincere condolences for the sad loss of Graham.
Happy memories right back from when I’d come round after school with Paul, right up to present day.
Sleep tight, god bless.
Brad and family x
A very sad day today Graham our last goodbyes, I will miss your smile and your laughter , but all the good times and memories will be with us always . RIP mate
A kind and warm-hearted Gentleman, Graham, along with all the Botties, will always occupy a special place in our hearts. As a young man, I recall Shaun’s descriptions of those legendary BBQs, which always sounded like Graham had managed to ensnare a passing diplodocus, then carve it up into manageable fillets. Yummy! And those family and social occasions were when Graham came into his own, always smiling, enjoying a cheeky beer and when he spoke to you, it was like you were the only person in the room. Thank you for those very fond memories, Graham. xxxxx
