I am sorry to hear of Graham’s sudden passing. I have many fond memories of Graham as we worked as counters at St. Timothy’s. He was friendly, kind and thoughtful. I loved hearing him talk about Michigan football and was very touched when he offered me a set of tickets for my son, David, who lives in MI. For at least 5 years,those tickets have been David’s special birthday gift. Graham also was good about finding us counters quarters when we were collecting state quarters. All we had to say was, “I need an OH quarter,” and he’d usually find one for us. Our Greenbriar community will miss him. I am thankful for his friendship. He will be in my prayers.
Our sincere condolences to your family & enjoyed being on the Finance Committee with you at St. Timothy’ Catholic church all those years! Our prayers are with you! Mary & Dick McCarthy
We send our thoughts and prayers to the Family at this time. May you find comfort in your memories USS BENNINGTON Shipmate
We shall miss Graham who we saw at USS Bennington reunions each year. We also appreciate the work he did to establish the monument at Ft Adams in Newport, RI. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. Steve and Sharon Leeds
I will sorely miss my shipmate Graham. We had a brief but deep relationship during his huge efforts establishing the memorial at Ft. Adams to our 103 fallen shipmates and count my blessings as a survivor. To Graham’s family, Fran and I extend heartfelt sympathy and know that you will find comfort as you share cherished memories of this great and good man.
We were so sorry to hear of Grahams passing, We enjoyed seeing him at the Bennington Reunions. FAIR SAILING GRAHAM!!!!!!!!!!
We are sorry to hear of Graham’s passing. I remember him being enthusiastic about his financial work. Our condolences go to Anne and the rest of his family.
We extend our sorrow and sympathy to the Casserly family and friends. We first met Graham at the Pensacola Reunion. Graham and Wilma found that due to the Warner name in family that somehow we might be ‘elbow relations’. Enjoyed doing the ancestory hunt with him. We still had a long way to go. He will be greatly missed.
Thank you Graham for all you did for our Association. You will be missed. Smooth sailing to your final port of call
Blessing from a shipmate, Bennington 58-59 May God bless.
Graham and I met up pursuing our post-career endeavors at the fledgling Edelman Financial Services many years ago. He was a sage source of advice and generous in sharing his knowledge. Our common interest in puzzle-solving brightened many a day. Too soon gone.
Graham–I still miss you like crazy. I hope to see you again someday.
