Not sure what to say?

I met Graham through my dad, who was his architect in DC. Graham's cabin in Great Falls needed a caretaker at the time. As a college student, I was lucky to have gotten the opportunity to step forward into that role and, serendipitously, into a sliver of Graham's life. The stories and perspective that Graham shared with me about his appreciation for the cabin, nature, and life were eye-opening and helped shape my own while I was there and continue to resonate many years after. I am forever...

I met Graham because of my business and later personally..what a wonderful person..rest in peace

I met Graham in Saudi Arabia. What a fun and creative strategist. I was just about to try and reconnect for some advice on a joint venture I am working on only to find that he has transitioned out of here. He was one to see potential and finding well connected ways forward full of laughter. Nice knowing you Graham and hopefully will meet you in the sweet by and by! Thanks for your kindness, Michael Diffenderffer

I have fun memories of working with Graham at the innovative education coalition in New Orleans. He was fun, funny and totally dedicated to improving education in New Orleans.

Graham was an indomitable spirit and inspiration behind the complex but elegant US India civil nuclear accord. He was a masterful strategist on moving both sides of Congress to a unifying idea: that India and the United States could fully trust one another with sensitive nuclear technology. Always a joy to work with, Graham was a gem of a human being. He will be missed. Godspeed, Graham.

I met Graham in 1968, in Beirut. We were in a student "work camp", then we went to Egypt, Baghdad, and Paris. He opened the world to me--and I've never forgotten him. So funny! Last time I saw him was probably 1970.

I grew up with Graham in Washington, and we were schoolmates at StA and SPS. Regrettably we fell out of touch over the last 15 years. Now, as I'm preparing to fly back to DC for my mother's memorial service, I decided to track down Graham, only to learn of his recent passing. I'm quite saddened by this news. Graham was a special friend whom I will only miss more now that he's gone. My sincere condolences to his wife and family.

I knew Graham for 40 years in Washington. Always smart, charming and very witty. Our hearts are sad for Rania. He loved her so. Stephanie and Tsotne

I send my love and deepest sympathy to all the family.
