Roger Graham

1953-2019

Some people just do more with the time they’re given on the planet. Roger Graham was one of those people. Roger had numerous passions and interests – he also had the talent and energy to explore them to the fullest. He had one of the biggest hearts around and a warm, welcoming smile. Sometimes you’d need to get past a gruff exterior to see that smile, but eventually everybody got past it.

“A friendly guy with a broad range of experiences and expertise who was willing to share them with everyone.”

CraneWerks’ owner Mark Thomas, remembers Roger – one of the lucky people to have called him a personal friend.
