Graham Stephens - Page 1

I am sure that many people are already aware that the GSD World in the UK has lost a good friend since Graham Stephens (Arden Grange) lost his battle with leukaemia on Tuesday. Chairman of the German Shepherd Dog League of GB, together with his wife Wendy, Graham was a highly respected and loved person in the GSD World.
Grahams funeral will be at Findon Crematorium, Horsham Road, Findon, Sussex BN14 0RG

Time 12.20hrs Tuesday 24th November

Afterwards at Arden Grange

I don't know him, but my heart goes out to his family.  What a horrible ordeal to go through.

Thanks Alyson for the information.  A very sad loss to us all, and to our breed   Condolences to Wendy and the family.  

Mo. and all at Mascani.

To assist with the funeral arrangements:

Those GSD folk planning to attend Grahams funeral should notify me directly, as soon as possible,  preferably by email, so that I can keep Wendy informed.

1) attending at the Crematorium
2) attending afterwards at Arden Grange

thank you
