Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
Anne, Graham's smile will never be forgotten nor the love you and he had for each other. We send our sympathies to you and the family.

I worked with Graham at Bank of America. He assisted in getting a major gift for the ECU Heart institute in Greenville. As he did many times, he saw a need and made a commitment to help others. I know he will be missed

Anne, I just learned of Graham's passing and am so sorry for you and all the immediate family who I know will miss him dearly. He clearly loved life and made those around him all the richer for it. He was one of my favorite people to work for and with at the bank. He was smart, energetic, and someone who everyone looked up to and admired. Please accept my sincere condolences at this very difficult time. God bless you and all members of your family.

I have fond memories of Graham. He was my brother's best friend. I had the pleasure of going with Graham, my brother and another friend to Nassau while in college. We stopped by to see Graham's father told Graham he had put 4 new tires on his car for a safer trip to Miami. We all had a wonderful time together. Graham was a consummate gentleman with a kind spirit. I was saddened to hear of his death.

To Graham Denton's family,
Graham was an unfailingly polite, kind and wise Wake Forest Trustee. You have my deepest sympathy.

Graham was a vigorous champion for the Charlotte region, and a delight to work with on many civic endeavors. He will be missed, and his family members are in my prayers. He leaves a wonderful legacy of contributions, laughter and love.

Denton Family... God bless you all with peace, comfort & loving memories of the special times that you were able to share with Graham while he lived. I am thankful to have had the opportunity for our paths to cross at the bank. I remember Graham to be a very kindhearted, generous, thoughtful & considerate person. He was truly admired by all who knew him. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Anne,
I just heard about Graham. I am so sorry. I will say extra prayers for you and the family.

Denton Family, so sorry to hear of the loss of a wonderful and caring man. I knew Mr. Denton during the NCNB days and truly had a lot of respect for him. May God continue to surround you and your entire family with his everlasting love.
