Projects that continue to benefit the community today. He was a member of the Southeast Manitoulin Lion's Club. Through this club he became the familiar voice of the Manitowaning Summerfest Smash-up Derby for many years. A role he embraced with enthusiasm and community pride.
• A devoted Christian, Graham's faith was the cornerstone of his life. He was a faithful member of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Manitowaning, where he served for many years as a church warden and server. His faith was evident not only in what he believed, but in how he lived -- with humility, kindness, generosity and service to others.
