OBITUARY
Robert "Bob" Douglas Graham
December 20, 1955 – December 30, 2020
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Robert (Bob) Graham on December 30th, 2020 at the age of 65.
He is survived by his beloved wife Nancy Graham, son Scott Graham (Ashley), daughter Lori Graham, his pride-and-joy grandsons Easton and Dominic, brother Peter Graham (Nancy), sister Barb Pulling (Andy), and all of his nieces, nephews and friends. He will be deeply missed by his two golden retriever fur babies Harley and Finnigan. Bob was predeceased by his father Frederick Graham and mother Dorothy Graham (Bround) and Nana Annie Bround. Bob was an avid fisherman. On weekends you would hear about his fish stories, which he shared with his children Scott and Lori. He also enjoyed boating and spending quality time up north with his wife Nancy of 42 years and family in Muskoka. Bob was an electrical contractor by trade. He worked at Babcock and Wilcox for 25 years before starting his own business in the hot tub and electrical field. He was caring, wise, family-orientated, and a loyal gentleman who would do anything to help you. He will be forever missed for his wisdom, his great sense of humour which will be carried on by his children (as Easton would call him: “Silly Grandpa”), and his strong work ethic. We suffer much only because we loved him so much, what happiness to know that we shall join him once again to love him once more. Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life is to follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cambridge Humane Society would be appreciated.

Sometimes we move into a community and wonder if we paid too much for the house. We then come to realize that one of our neighbours is a top-notch, people person like Bob Graham. A man whose delightful spirit leads us to conclude that we didn't pay enough.
My condolences to the Graham family at this difficult time.

Nancy, Scott, Lori - I'm very saddened to hear that Bob has passed away. I'm know this is very difficult for you all but you have many great memories to cherish and look back on. He always made me laugh with a good story or joke and seemed so jovial. He lived life to the fullest, never one to pass up an opportunity. He will be missed by many, a hole is left behind for sure. Be well!

Bob will be remembered for his constant smile, happy, kind demeanor and the ability to make those around him feel special. Bob was the type of man who after you met him would make you say what a great guy. His kindness and generosity will live on through his children and grandchildren. Thank you Bob for bringing kindness and happiness to all those you touched.

Our deepest sympathy. Carter and Bob worked at B&W and became good friends. Always a sense of humor, never serious. We enjoyed his telephone calls. We were shocked to hear about Bob's passing. He will be truly missed. Carter and Virginia Fancy

Dear Nancy, Scott, Lori, and family,
We are so saddened and our hearts go out to you.
There are so many memories over the years to cherish. Bob always could bring a smile and always had something humorous and usually wise to say.
I have many fun memories especially from our many Christmas parties at Frink and KKP.
Our thoughts are with you,

Bob was a special neighbor for 19 years. He always had helpful advice and was ready with a helping hand. All my contractors new him as he was a typical guy and wanted to be where the action was, I think Jerry Seinfeld had him in mind for his "men" jokes. Bob always had my back and even defended me when times got tough. He knew I loved his dogs and would send them over to me to play with and hug. He'd been bugging me lately to get a new van so Bob if theres a new vehicle in our laneway , I've taken your good advice again . Will miss you, your friend and neighbor Barbara

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to you on the passing of your soul mate. I have so many fond memories of you and Bob, and will forever remember your husband as one of the kindest, most gentle souls I've ever had the privilege to meet. While his call Home came far too soon, how blessed and grateful I am to have known him.
With love and hugs,

Nancy, Scott and Lori - my sincere condolences to you - what a loss for you. I'm not sure I ever met someone like your Dad/Bob - who always had a smile and a kind word for everyone he met. The world is a sadder place today.

Nancy, Lori, Scott and family,
We all share in your loss. Bob was such a wonderful friend, father and husband. Great sense of humour and the gift of the gab. After enjoying his and your company for thirty five plus years, who couldn’t love and respect our fine friend. Also, a true friend when you want any help or advice. We will miss him immensely and always.
Still hard to believe and so sudden. Our hearts go out to you and your family and you have our deepest sympathy. May he always be with the best of angels and in the company of others.
Cathy & John Lysnes & family
