We even got a member of staff to visit his home to see what was going to no avail so we contacted his family on Thursday last week to contact the police. The police had to break down the door of his home that day to find him passed away.

We are all hoping that the first day he wasn't in work was his last but the fact that he wasn't found for 5 days is upsetting but I am glad that I pressed my concerns to management when I did as it could have been many more days before he was found.

Miss you Graham and we are working on a plaque for you above the dishwasher machine to honour you within the ****hole I work in.
