Recovery truck takes respected technician to final resting place
The final wish of a well-loved and popular vehicle technician.

Graham Roberts, 51,recently passed away and had given instructions to his three former employers that he wanted to travel to his final resting place on the back of a recovery truck.

A cortege of lorries followed Wiggy as we went past his old workplaces one final time before going to the crematorium.

Graham leaves behind partner Rachel and three children Oliver Chloe and Dominic, his father Mervyn, brother Adrian and sister Dawn.

Donna Howlett, director at Delmont Garage, said: “A well respected member of the Norwich motor industry.

“Graham completed his final journey in accordance with his wishes, on the back of a Delmonte Garage breakdown truck.

“He worked at the garage for several years before moving onto Orwell trucks in Norwich, having previously been employed by JSF Land Rover in Norwich.

“All three garages were represented in the funeral cortege which left Graham’s home in Hoveton and travelled past all three garages on the way to the funeral.

“Staff from all the garages were amongst the pall bearers and a representative of each spoke at the service.

“The directors of the Delmonte Garage said it was an absolute honour to have known him and especially to be asked to be involved in Graham’s last trip.

“Our sympathy goes out to all his family.”
