Graham died on Saturday, January 4, 2025 after a short illness resulting from consequences of Parkinson’s disease. He is survived by his wife and partner of 50 years, Evelyn Clarke, and their son David.

Born in Manchester in 1948, Graham won a scholarship to St. Peter’s College, Oxford, going on to complete his Ph.D. in nuclear physics at Manchester University. He moved to Canada in 1974 to pursue a career in Nuclear Engineering, working for AECL and later Ontario Hydro. Graham was known in the neighborhood as the “fix-it” man, always willing to lend a hand or advice on home repairs or renovations. He was an avid birdwatcher who loved the outdoors, particularly hiking and camping. In later years, he was an active volunteer with the Bloor Village Players, whose set building team will greatly miss his technical expertise and meticulous organizational skills. Other organizations which benefitted from his volunteer work included the Royal Ontario Museum, the now-defunct Canadian Air and Space Museum at Downsview, and Out of the Cold and other programmes at All Saints Kingsway. Another interest was the history of Antarctic exploration; he had a fine collection of books and ephemera relating to the topic and was a great admirer of Amundsen and Shackleton. We will remember him for his sense of humor, his kindness and his creativity.

The family would like to thank the staff at Toronto Rehab and at Labdara Nursing Home for their support in the last two years of his life.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no Visitation or Funeral service. Instead, there will be a celebration of life on Saturday, January 18th at 2pm at All Saints Kingsway Anglican Church, 2850 Bloor Street West.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Graham's name may be made to FLAP (Fatal Light Awareness Program for bird protection) or to the Parkinson's Society.
