I’m so sad, we will miss him. I met him many time at armwrestling tournaments in the last 25 years. I’ll always remember his sense of humor, his polite manners. Always smiling and positive. RIP my friend.
To my dear friend Granville We shared time at primary school and we shared time at secondary school, we shared time on the dance floor & we shared time as friends but not I share my time with sorrow over your loss my dear friend. You fought lots of Marshall arts tournaments but this was your biggest fight which took you away from us Sleep now as your fight for survival is over and your wonderful smile and approach to life’s challenges will be misted by us all. Sylvester Watson
In our hearts you will stay loved and remembered every day. gonna miss you Granville
Granville Lloyd The angels looked down from heaven one night. They searched for miles afar, And deep within the distance They could see a shining star. They knew that very instant That the star was theirs to gain, So they took you up to heaven, Forever to remain. Look down on us from heaven. Keep us free from hurt and pain. You’ll always be within my heart Until we meet again. Fly high my kind friend
Remembering you for all your kindness You were a true gentleman
What a wise and wonderful man you were G. A friend to everyone at Roehampton Club. A role model for men. You always had time for everyone, especially the ladies and you never ever wore a frown. You constantly conducted yourself with grace. Karen and I will miss your company so much and you randomly calling in for dinner, a beer, a whiskey or port. We have shed a few tears for you brother but we also smile in the memory of sharing a small part of our lives with you and you will remain forever in our hearts. Mark & Karen x
Rest In Peace Granville, Remembering your kindness and love towards us all especially the joy you brought to Megan.
Dear Granville, I still remember the first time we met at the Roehampton Club and how kind you were with me, I always enjoyed talking to you because you were a very positive person and always knew how to make me smile. I will miss you Dear Granville you will always remain in my heart. R.I.P. Patrizia
GOD’S GARDEN God looked around his garden And found an empty place He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you could never Get well on earth again He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace Be Thine’ It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

Our dearest friend Granville, you’ll never know how much I’m going to miss you. Who do I confide in now? You were an amazing listener and friend, and never judgemental, I don’t know anyone else like you. thank you for being a part of our family for soooo long. You’ve seen the kids grow up, then watched their children grow up. you are the only true gentleman I’ve ever known. So kind, funny, happy and respectful. For sure you’re one in a million. we all feel so grateful to have had you in our lives for so long. Your dignity during your last few months was astounding, and still you were always that kind gentleman we all love so much. God clearly needed another Angel, you. Rest in peace Grenny xxxx

When I first meet Granville I thought ” boy that man looks like Eddie Murphy”, he was welcoming and had a smile that would make you smile with a sense of humour to match. Granville was a true gentleman, charismatic and very dapper. A good friend with a heart of gold but suffers fools lightly. You will be missed Granville but still loved. Be at peace my friend and keep smiling.x
We will always remember you Granville, your smile and the essence of you are eternally woven in many happy memories of times we shared with you. Bid me to weep and I will weep, While I have eyes to see, And having none yet I will keep A heart to weep for thee. Sleep peacefully old friend x
Dearest G, Remembering all the time we have spent together, the meals out, BBQ’s and fun visiting places. We now often sit in our garden, and think of you awhile, remembering wonderful moments, and our sadness becomes a smile. For sitting in our garden, is our favourite place to be, and we know in our hearts, you’ll be sitting next to us. Take it easy. You will always be in our hearts. Tina and Chris.
Today is a very sad day, I say goodbye to a very close friend. We spent so much time together touring the country armwrestling. These are times I will always cherish, good bye G RIP my friend.
