Graeme Dand

Although we all knew it was coming, the news that Graeme Dand @theformanalyst has passed away today is incredibly sad. The fragility of life and the reminder that all that matters in the end is how we impact others in the way we live our lives. 

I never met Graeme in person, but as I've written before, he was the first person to comment on this blog back in 2008 and our friendship goes back even further.

Graeme was always friendly, encouraging, supportive, upbeat and positive, had a great sense of humour, loved his horse racing and - for a while - football betting, and wrote some of the longest posts in the history of blogs. He occasionally wrote some of the longest Twitter threads too and loved his Excel spreadsheets. 

Graeme showed incredible courage in the final few months of his life, and was a devoted husband, father and son and an inspiration to many of us.

Rest in Peace.
