This is to advise people of the visitation with family and funeral.

On Friday, September 25 the Graham family invites you to join in a Funeral worship service. To accommodate all who wish to attend there will be three service times offered that afternoon. Please contact the Hills of Peace church office @ 250-828-2221 or office@hillsofpeace.com to confirm your attendance and receive the details for the service you will attend.

We wish to announce the unexpected passing of Norman Bruce W. Graham on April 7, 2020.   He leaves to mourn his loss his wife of 54 years Ina, his daughters Rebecca (Remi Rheault) and Samantha; grandsons David (14) and Michael (12), his sisters Ruth and Ann (Al Keeting)

He is predeceased by his parents Norman and Martha Graham, his brother John Graham (Olive).  Due to COVID-19, funeral arrangements will be delayed until the family can gather.  In the interim Norman Bruce will be cremated and burial service to follow.

Throughout his life he drove transport, worked as a body mechanic both with the Toronto Transit Commissions, and various garages in the 1960’s.  He was service manager for McPherson Motors in North Bay in the 1970’s, as well as in Hamilton in the 1980’s.  He helped in the development of proto type underground mining machinery for Jarvis Clarke in both North Bay and Burlington, late 70’s and early 80’s.  He had many happy years in Accident Appraisal throughout Northwestern Ontario in the 90’s, and concluded his career with Security Services in Kamloops and at the airport in the 21st Century.

He enjoyed the great outdoors – hunting, fishing, sailing, canoeing, swimming, driving, skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, camping and the quiet life.

Bruce, aka Dad, aka Poppa will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
