Famous Graham aka Flying Badger :(
Discussion
Not sure where best to post this - here, or in photography, S200, TV&S or Scotland, do we have a Lego area?
Sadly I’ve heard today via a post from his Sister on FB that Graham passed away a few days ago, of natural causes.
"No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away..." you created a lot of ripples mate & will be missed

k sake man It was one hell of a shock when I saw his Sister’s post & of course in typical FB fashion, it was a couple of days old! She said they didn’t know what happened, but was natural causes.
As soon as I hear funeral details I’ll post with details, so we can raise a glass.
He lost a lot of friends in an FB permissions cock-up a while ago & left it to others to send requests) so if you know him/me I’ll make my post public so you can comment if you want? The family are reading posts...

Very sorry to hear this. I didn't know him other than on a night out in Chesterfield yonks ago following a Derbyshire hoon, back in the days when folks would come from far and wide in all sorts of cars. We had a group meal, went around a few pubs, overnighted at Jury's Inn, breakfast next morning and seperate ways.
Condolences to family & freinds.

Very sad news. I remember when he had his S2000 and came to Le Mans with us one year. RIP.
I was on and off in touch with Graham ever since, we 'spoke' via Twitter only recently. RIP Badger.Edit: Graham at Le Mans in 2006, from his own Flikr album

The family thank you for your words, they mean a lot!
They have decided to set up a Go Fund Me page in Graham's memory.

Given that lego was such a huge part of his life, we are asking if anyone would like to make a donation then Fairy Bricks UK is our chosen charity. The charity choice is a joint decision between us and one of his main online communities.
They arrange the distribution of brand new lego sets to children's wards about the country. Being in hospital can be very daunting for children, and having a lego set to focus on and build can help allay the fears.

We will also be arranging to donate as many of his lego bricks as possible to Autism UK, who use lego as a learning aid. Perhaps have a look in drawers around your home and see if there are any you would like to send them too?
Funeral details will be forthcoming in due course.
Best wishes

The Lego is such a brilliant idea, really like that. They have decided to set up a Go Fund Me page in Graham's memory.
