RONALD WILLIAM AUSTIN GRAHAM

Surrounded by his family, Ronald William Austin Graham passed away peacefully on 16 April 2025. Ronald is predeceased by his parents, Kathleen (1993) and Howard (1984). Survived by his wife Marie of 62 years and his children, Paul (Deb) and Christine (Olivier) and granddaughter Catalina. Brother to Marilynn (Bob), Janet (Bruce Murphy 2018), Lois 1990 (Mark Bell 2007) and James (2013). Niece Kendis, nephews Kevin (2019), Michael (Beverley) Imee, Stephen (Cheryl), Craig Bell (Michelle) and Corie (Peter Ronson). Brother-in-law to Lawrence Gayman (Gail). Long time big brother friend of 70 years, Jim Wilson of Newmarket. 

Born and raised in Markham, Ontario, Ronald furthered his career as a Power Maintenance Electrician with Hydro One and later Alectra (formerly Markham Hydro). His dedication and love for the Lions Club International, doing good for others before himself, was consistent in his daily life and after that, there were the days at the golf course with Bob, Dave and the rest of the golf gang. The family thanks everyone at McCormick Home for all their kindness and devotion in making the residents happy and comfortable. Ronald always came through the door with his arms spread saying “I’m home.”

At Ronald’s request there will be no funeral service and cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations to the McCormick Home, 2022 Kains Road, London, Ontario. N6K 0A8 would be appreciated. 

Wherever you are,
“May a star lead you,
The wind be at your back,
The road rise up to meet you,
And God hold you in the hollow of his HAND.”
