In loving memory of Graham Bukata who sadly passed away on 9th July 2016. After his very short battle with cancer.

Graham was a man who once met never forgot. Full of trivia and could talk the hind legs off a donkey.

He loved his beautiful wife and best friend Mornee Bukata, was a wonderful daddy to Milly, George and Henry. A son and Grandson to be proud of, a brother
Who I loved like no other. A wise old uncle to Sophie and Zoe as well as a nephew and cousin to look up to.

If you are or were his friend he always had a story to tell of mischief you got up to at some point.

His life was his family, friends and the ARMY.

Please join us as we lay him to rest, along with his precious Willow on rainbow bridge.

Hello Cucumber. Just wrote on mums so can't leave you out can I? You would not be happy if I did. We had a family get together a month or so ago, and obviously the BUKATA buffet was full steam ahead, your mum done well, as per usual. Was lovely and sunny but then decided to pelt it down with rain, but that didn't stop us. Milly's birthday today, not that you don't know! 15 already, how time flies aye? She would have had lots of cucumbers for her birthday presents LOL (or a crate of fosters - joking) Wish you was here, to tell your rubbish jokes, wind your mum, sister and wife up like you used to, even though they would probably give you a swift headbutt now (even though they did back then lol). When you would get on my Facebook and write weird things about donkeys, I'm glad I never deleted them, but you did make me look a weirdo, but we're all weirdo's. Well hope you are all having a good one up there, coz its boiling like gone of sardines down here LOL. Going to listen to I'm a fire starter (the prodigy) now so bye my fellow weirdo cousin. Miss and Love you loads.

Miss you G and the laughs we used to have. Wish you were still here! Nearly Christmas and another year without you winding everyone up. Have to drink the Fosters on my own now, and it just doesn't sit right (even though you would always have triple the cans whilst I would still be on my first one). Just watching the 'Kings Guards in training' which reminds me of you. You would be loving it and telling shouting at the TV telling them to do it right. You obviously know we now have a King as you're up there partying with the Queen and Phillip, putting the worlds to right, as well as being with my Mum and of course Grandad. Hope you're all having a fab time though (probably loads of arguments as well). Hope you have a lovely Christmas, just rubbish you are not here for it. Miss you and love you loads, catch up again soon. Lots of Love. xxxxxxx

Hello you! Hope you had a lovely Xmas up there and didn’t drink all the fosters. Lol. Grandads up there as well now with you. Probably glad about that as you and him can talk your talks whilst mum just nods her way through bottles of wine aye? Bet you all had such a kushty one up there the three of you. Bet everyone else up there went to bed early as we all know what the three of you are like - taking of the place. You were probably playing prodigy (fire starter) whilst mums trying to put Tina turner or Diana Ross on and then grandads probably just sat with his whiskey and nuts - he’s probably trying to pick them out his teeth still now. Oh how I miss you all so much. Hope you had a cucumber platter for your nibbles whilst playing chase the ace! Well I’ll speak with you new year the three of you. Love you all!!!

Another birthday of mine gone, another one with you not there. Another one without you telling rubbish jokes (even though we laughed). Another one closer to seeing you. Just wish you were here, I miss you so much. So many memories made but so many memories that could have been made. Hope your smashing it up there and keeping mum in line. Well the pair of you probably have your own area as you both talk too much - especially after a few bevy’s. Love you g- always on my mind xxx

Thinking of the day, when you went away, what life to take, what a bond to break. One last morning, when this life is over, I know I'll see your face. Miss you G, miss our bingo scratch cards, even though neither of us would win, but we would always celebrate our loses with chinese and beer, and mornee would have that omlette thing. Then in the morning, it would be a race to the toilet, not just with us three but with the kids too. Thanks for letting me live with you and Mornee, I would say it was to help with kids, which it was, but it was so nice to actually spend time with you and mornee, even when you weren't there, me and Mornee has some fun (the Heat, its a film) Ah how I miss all them times. How i miss you, miss your loud piss taking voice. What I would do for you pissing my mum off in Tinas kitchen. well as you say we will be on the bus from New addington to join you. LOVE YOU xxxxxxx
