Born in New Zealand 29 November 1936, passed away peacefully on 21 November 2022 with his family by his side. He leaves his loving wife Birte (Bea), his Danish Delight of 38 years who he shared many trips to New Zealand as well as multiple cruises. He also leaves stepson Richard, stepdaughter Leanne (Peter) and grandchildren Erica, Alex, Joshua and Anna, his brother Walter (Margo) and sister Margaret, nieces and nephews in New Zealand.
Graham came to Canada in 1984 and he ended up staying after meeting the love of his life. He was a true gentleman, with a twinkle in his eye and was very loving to those close to him. Graham was kind to everyone he met and was always eager to help others with any projects at hand, he liked to keep busy. He was known for wearing shorts every day of the year, he even built snowmen with the grandchildren in the winter in his shorts. Graham loved his fishing trips with John and playing golf with many of his buddies. Graham will be missed by his family and his many friends especially Phil, his steady companion.
Thank you for the wonderful care that Graham received at The Summit.
