Graham Crickett - a model of patience, courtesy, kindness and integrity

I am very sorry to learn of Graham's death. I worked with him for several years when I joined Reuters and we sat alongside each other in our cramped eyrie on the 7th floor of 85. 

Graham was a model of patience, courtesy, kindness and integrity. He taught me the fundamentals on managing assignments and introduced me to the oft-baffling world of pay, benefits and pensions. 

Graham underlined throughout the importance of timeliness, accuracy and sensitivity to the expectations and needs of our colleagues. He was never flustered and always constructive. 

I hope he will be very kindly remembered. ■
