David Graham, best known as a beloved, long-time racing announcer, died Monday, October 28th at age 69.

Besides announcing races and podium ceremonies at racing events and award banquets, David Graham was at various times a race-team manager, a racing tire distributor, a motorcycle dealer, a tech official, and the co-owner of a racing trophy shop along with his life partner Sue Sharp.

He is survived by son Colin Graham, daughter Claire Graham, sister Donna Otay, and Sharp.

Graham was especially good at announcing at award ceremonies, where he had a knack for connecting with trophy winners and spectators by accurately describing how much racing meant to them.

God Speed, David Graham.
