Virtual Hugs

Created by Claudia one year ago

I had the pleasure of assisting Grahame  for 2-3 months as his PA. What an amazing, warm, welcoming , friendly and quirky guy he was. 

In our very first meeting he jumped right in with a virtual hug and a please to e-meet you! He had a way of breaking the ice, making you feel at ease and special. (even though we were a million miles apart.)

Virtual hugs soon became the usual greeting and I'm pretty sure people must of thought he was nuts hugging himself on camera, but that is just who he was, that was Grahame !  After my 2-3 months of helping GC out he still kept in contact with me and would check in every now and again to chat and see how I was getting on, he would share a meme or a joke just for a laugh - this is testament to the genuine caring person he was. 

A year and a bit later I got to meet GC in the flesh on the Barcelona trip. The virtual hugs became big bear hugs. We had so many laughs and giggles on the trip that I will never forget.

I quickly realized who GC was "online" was who he was in person! 

Grahame made work life & the Barcelona trip that much more special and memorable, by just being him. Some of my fondest memories are of GC and the boys singing Backstreet Boys I want it that way in a little street pub full of people in Barcelona and then serenading a few of us in the back of a cab to hungry eyes ! (If you know, you know!)

GC, in the short 2 years of knowing you, you have truly made a huge impact on my life. I will miss your quirkiness, kindness and warmth.
