GRAFF Steven D. Graff, 62 of Jacksonville, FL passed away on March 10, 2016 after a lengthy illness. He was born August 22, 1953 to Elizabeth Crocken and John Graff in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Before moving to Florida six years ago, Steve was employed as a retail manager and then commercial bookkeeper at various firms in the Bronx and Westchester, New York.

Among his proudest accomplishments was a hole in one on the fourth hole of the Jacksonville Beach Golf Course on August 13, 2012. He also enthusiastically enjoyed his flight simulator from which he could pilot all types of aircraft to airports around the world. This was a legacy to his father who had flown for the military in World War II and Korea. Steve also loved binge watching 1960's television shows and World War II movies. A private Celebration of Life will be held April 2, 2016 for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida.
