StevieDay1983 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 To the Punters Lounge family, It is with deep regret that we must share some tragic news with you all. BillyHills aka Graham Sarson sadly passed away over the weekend after suffering a heart attack. Graham was a hugely popular figure within the PL community and had become a much-loved person amongst the staff team. Graham has been a part of Punters Lounge for a number of years and has played a key role in contributing quality content to the forum and site. His horse racing tips were the stuff of legend across the gambling industry and his management of the Last Man Standing and Tipster Competitions provided many of us with some fun and laughs over the years. Since the devastating loss of Punters Lounge owner Paul Ross, Graham has played a pivotal role in helping the site to remain active and keep growing in the way Paul wanted. Our thoughts and love go out to Graham's wife Suzy, his family, and his friends at this awful time.

ipswich45 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 actually lost for words Graham made me feel most welcome when I joined the PL community earlier in the year and helped me along during the way, just shows how quick things can change Fingers crossed someone can pick up from where hes left off and PL continues his good and heavy work load hes put into the community maybe even dedicate the remainder of the month at least with one of the competitions should it continue named in his honour andellio, StevieDay1983 and silver fox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnrobertson Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Such sad shocking news. I've been posting on this site for almost 4 years and I had great respect for Graham always helpful and friendly. I never met him but he came across as a great guy, very knowledgeable, his tiresome work at running all the competitions, I will miss him. Thinking about his family and friends. Thanks for everything BillyHills RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) You are kidding me. That's ridiculous. I said to @BillyHills after Paul passed away if I could help in any way with the site then let me know, and that offer goes double now. So sorry to hear this Edited October 5, 2020 by Torque Fader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Echo sentiments. So sad for Suzy and indeed for PL. He did so much for the forum. He practically lived on the forum and was always on hand to help anybody. Absolute class guy and losing Graham and Paul too has been such huge losses to PL.

GrandDanois Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 This simply cant be true. I was wondering why no updates in the tables and was worried only to find out Graham passed. So gutted. He was a gentleman and always helpful, not only to me, but to every one at PL. My deepest condolences to Suzy and the rest of the family. I have a suggestion that all prize money this month goes to Suzy and the rest of Grahams family in support and honor of all the hard work Graham put in on the site.
