His father, Reg, was a partner in the engraving business, sadly he died of a heart attack. The last I heard of them was that Graham was living in Australia with his wife and kid(s?). As far as I know his mother is living in sheltered accommodation in Accrington.
If you Google him you'll find his website.

The quoted posting refers to a 2010 one about Graham Walne, stage lighting expert. I can confirm that Graham , an Accrington Grammar School lad, does live in Australia. The shop his dad started in Burnley Rd opposite the Boar's Head is still going, run by Frank Fielding, who was Mr Walne's apprentice c 1960
