| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Wednesday, February 7, 2018 <<< Gary Lee Graham, 77, made his peaceful transition on Jan. 28, 2018 at 10:26 p.m. at his home in the Florida Keys. Gary was born on April 6, 1940 in Harwick, Pennsylvania, the son of Pete and Veda Graham. He was one of three children. Gary was preceded in death by his parents, brother Billy, and sister and brother-in-law, Joe and Judy Furko. On April 26, 1997, Gary and Nancy wed in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in the hills of Lake Havasu City. A wonderful cook, Gary was a long-time Havasu resident and enjoyed the lake, golf and wonderful friends. He was a member of Calvary Church with his wife and later, the Vineyard in the Keys. Gary loved the outdoors, camping, traveling and football, specifically the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played football at Brown University while attending. He enjoyed coaching summer camps for the Boston Celtics in his early years. Gary is survived by his loving wife, Nancy Graham, as well as his seven children: Ken Graham, Karen Graham, Lisa Beres, Felicia Graham Comisar, Russell Graham, Darcy Wadsworth and Dean Jones. He leaves behind nine beautiful grandchildren: Jessica, Kristina, Heather and Timothy Graham, Isaac and Aaron Comisar, Dakota and Conor Wadsworth and Danielle Jones. Gary’s close extended family includes his niece, Kim Loughran, and his nephew, Joey Furko. He overcame much adversity while persevering with grace, strength and tenacity -- like a green olive tree. Gary would want to remind us to enjoy each and every day that God has granted us. |
