Graham was an avid soccer player and a devoted fan of his favourite soccer team Chelsea. He loved the outdoors, spending time at his cottage, kayaking and playing his guitar. He also enjoyed swimming and playing squash. He cherished time spent with Beth and the family whether it was a special holiday or birthday celebration or simply kicking a soccer ball around the yard, getting ice cream in town or taking a grandchild out for breakfast. Graham possessed a strong work ethic, enjoyed a long career as a Computer Programmer and Analyst which allowed him to travel to many places, and even in retirement continued to challenge himself with ongoing projects.
