The family of Patrick Douglas Graham announce with deep sadness the peaceful and dignified passing of our patriarch Douglas, in his 91st year, at home in Oakville on Thursday December 24th, 2009. Doug was the beloved husband, for 65 years, of the late Margaret Anne Graham (nee McCurdy), his one true love. Doug was the 2nd of 9 children, brother to Helen, big brother to Bernice, Barbara, Gregory, Adrian, Ted, Glynn and Donald. Mr. Douglas will be greatly missed by his 3 children, Gary and his wife Catherine (nee Rennie), JoAnne and her husband Paul Conlin, and Candace Mahovlich. His legacy includes 8 grandchildren: Michelle, Michael and Melissa, Paul and Nancy, Peter, Jeffrey and Margaret. He was extremely proud of his 16 great grandchildren, and was looking forward to meeting # 17 in March. Doug was a great story teller so in lieu of flowers and in his memory, please take the time to read a child a book. Doug's zest for life was inspiring and he will remain with all of us who loved him as he leaves us with an abundance of great memories. Special thanks from the family go to Aunt Candy for the tremendous care Doug received over the last few years. Visitation will be held at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Rd West, Oakville,(905-844-2600) from
2-7pm on Monday December 28th. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10am on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at St Matthew's Parish, 1150 Monks Passage, Oakville. Interment to follow at Trafalgar Lawn Cemetery .
