He was the best coach and teacher at Katella High School and he will be remembered forever in the Knight family!

Grafton was one of the many “good guys” in the sport of water polo. I have had the pleasure of crossing paths with him for the last 20+ years and always walked away with a smile. The world needs more like Grafton who was on this earth way too short a stay.

Grafton, I was looking forward to calling you a congratulating you on the title. You went out how you lived. A CHAMPION. You will be missed
