Obituary for Alfred Raymond Graham
Alfred Raymond Graham, Jr.
November 26, 1946 - November 3, 2019
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Alfred Raymond Graham, Jr. on November 3, 2019 in Calgary, Alberta. He was lovingly accepted into the hands of the Lord with his daughter at his side.
Alf was born in Toronto, Ontario November 26,1946, and moved to Calgary in 1965 with his family. Alf graduated from U of C with a BComm and later received his CA designation subsequently retiring in 2013 as a Revenue Auditor with the Government of Canada. Although his occupation was as an accountant, his talent and love for music was unrivalled. He was touched when presented with the John Philip Sousa Award, for the most outstanding musician in his graduating class by unanimous decision of staff and fellow classmates. Alf was also a history buff and could recount in great detail virtually any historical event dating from the Roman Empire to present day.
As a Detroit Red Wings fan, Alf never missed a game, and owned more team jerseys, tee-shirts, sweaters and hats than one man should. The only thing that surpassed his love for music, history and hockey, was the love and pride he had for his daughter. He was extremely proud when she received her Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine in British Columbia and was continually in awe of everything she accomplished.
He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Kimberley Schneberk, (nee Graham) son-in-law Jody, granddaughter Ciara , sister Pat Graham and brother Doug. Alf is pre deceased by his father, Alfred Raymond Graham Sr., and mother Dorothy (nee Wilson).
Services to be held at a later date.
