Broken Wand - Graham Reid

Part of a post on Magic New Zealand by Mandy Davies:
- It was with a very heavy heart that I listened to a message from Tim
Reed to tell me the his father and our wonderful friend, Graham, had
passed away in hospital in his sleep last night. Graham had been ill for
a long while but we spoke only two or three weeks ago when he was
finally home from a rehab centre and hoping to invite us over once he'd
settled....
Graham was the most generous, kind hearted man anyone could ever meet -
even spending time on Saturdays on busy streets in London offering help
to tourists who were looking lost and confused. His knowledge was
outstanding and he'd not only ensure they had the correct directions but
he'd recommend other places of interest, too.
Graham was one of Paul Daniels's closest friends, they were both members
of the Middlesbrough Magic Society, Graham later becoming one of Paul's
magic advisors on his TV series. This led to a great friendship between
Graham and Ali Bongo.
