David L. Graham

Dear Barb, I know these last four years have not been easy for you. Moving forward without your life-long spouse and best friend by your side is never easy. Just remember that your friends love you and we will continue to be there for you.

Lt. Graham was my division officer on Oriskany. Always treated evrryone with respect and everyone respected him. He was always approachable and quick with a laugh.Although we never kept in touch I want his family to know what a terrific guy he was.

Dave was such a kind soul. Loved his smile and sense of humor but mostly his dedication to Barbara his boys and grandchildren. Thinking of you all at this difficult time I

My late wife Anne and I lived next door to Barbara and Dave in Brick, NJ for 7 years. From the day we moved in - back in 1977 - the four of us became friends. Sean was our son Kevin's very first best friend. Dave and I tore down the fence between the two yards soon after Anne and I moved in. As neighbors, we couldn't have been closer. And remained close despite living in different states. I don't think I ever remember hearing Dave complain or seeing him in a bad mood. A really good man. He...

Dave was a kind loving man to his family and church community. He spent many Sundays visiting the homebound bringing the Eucharist to them and visiting. He and Barb represented a solid marriage. He will be popular in heaven and very missed here.

Dear Barb, My deepest sympathy to you and your family on Dave's death. May he rest in God's peace, and may that peace comfort you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Peggy Fortier

Barb, it was a honor to be able to bring communion to you and Dave during the last few weeks of Dave's illness. His attitude was so positive and he was always cheerful and smiling. I have no doubt that his attitude was a result of his beautiful faith. He exerted a positive influence on everyone around him, and I think that influence will continue with the next generation of Grahams. I must also thank both of you from the bottom of my heart for the personal assistance you provided to...

Mrs. Graham, Dave and Sean, I was so saddened to hear of Mr. Graham’s passing. What a wonderful man! Your family is in our prayers!
