Paul Graham

It is with deep sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of our dear and cherished father, Paul, at the age of 82. Peacefully and with dignity, after a brave struggle with cancer, on Wednesday December 31st, 2003 at North York General Hospital. Beloved and devoted husband and best friend for over 50 years, to our wonderful mother Betty, who died in 1995. Always a loving and caring father to his eight children: Mary Catherine and her husband Bruce Porter of Toronto, Betty Ann and her husband Bob Craig of Newmarket, Michael and his wife Edda of Midland, Maureen and her husband Geoff Plant-Richmond of Toronto, Thomas and his wife Lynn Marie of Newmarket, Frances and her husband Dean Wood of Moonstone, Edward and his wife Kelly of Midland and Margie and her late husband John Rendall of Lefroy. Grandpa will be sadly missed by his fifteen grandchildren: David, Brian, Michael, Jennifer, Michael, Stephen, Spencer, Geoffrey, Graham, Mark, Meaghan, Braedan, Sarah, Carlie and Brett, who had brought great joy into his life, as he has done to theirs in so many ways. Survived by sister Frances Black. Predeceased by his brother Thomas and sisters Kay McCarthy and Mary Flanagan. A sincere thank you to Father Paul Cusack, who has been a tremendous friend and support to our family for many years. Dad will be fondly remembered for his kindness and generosity to all, for his honesty, integrity and love of people especially his family and friends.
