GRAHAM, John F Professor Emeritus.
John died peacefully in Victoria on November 18, 2007, at 78. Survived by his beloved wife Eleanor. Proud and loving father of Chris (Joan Yates) and Lisa and devoted 'Poppy' to Adrienne. Missed by sister Ruth Homes. Born in Windsor, Ont., he earned his Bachelor's at University of Windsor's Assumption College (1953) followed by an MBA from Western Ontario (1958). He taught many hundreds of bright Canadian minds at the Ivey School of Business (1958-1993) and was Assistant Dean (1973-1985). He was proud of his extensive volunteerism, sitting on many boards and helping to found the London Regional Childrens' Museum. His career took him to meaningful work in Pakistan and Kenya. At retirement, John and Eleanor spent the last 15 years having fun, traveling the world and enjoying life with friends and family in Victoria and in London.
