He leaves his loving wife of 51 years, Rhea (Malcomnson) Graham; daughter, Marsha Graham; son Tom &amp; wife Karen Graham &amp; his cherished grandsons, Hugh Graham, Charlie Graham. Dick was the eldest son of the Graham clan and is survived by siblings; Mervyn/Mary Dale Graham, Peggy/ Ed Stewart, Gordon/ Joyce Graham, Sharon Graham &amp; their families. Dick was predeceased by his mother Gertrude (Doig) Graham &amp; stepfather James Forest Graham. After graduating from Ryerson Institute of Technology in 1959 Dick&rsquo;s career/ work life took him to Brockville and Sarnia in Ontario, then in 1977 moved his family to Calgary, Alberta. Dick and Rhea relocated to Central Alberta in 2000 where they enjoyed recreational activities at both Bergen Springs Estates &amp; Sierras Michener Hill. As snowbirds for over 10 years Dick and Rhea enjoyed living at Desert Paradise RV Resort &amp; Sundance RV Resort in Yuma Arizona. His lifelong love of 'nature' and hiking gave Dick the opportunity to manage Bluebird Trails to assist with the study, conservation &amp; restoration of the natural range of the Mountain Bluebird in Southern Alberta. At Dick&rsquo;s request, in lieu of flowers, memorial tributes in Dick's honor maybe made directly to The Red Deer Hospice Society, 99 Arnot Ave, Red Deer AB T4R 3S6 or to the Ellis Bird Farm, Lacombe AB T0C 0Y0.
