GRAHAM WOOD Obituary
Graham passed away Friday March 21 of heart failure. He is survived by his loving wife of twenty-five years, Marilyn; Sister-in-laws Brianne Wood, Bev Toovey (Alan Urichuk) and Joy Harris; stepsons Rob Davies (Shelly Poirier) and Terry Davies (Laverne Davies); grandchildren James and Lyle Rodgers and Cody and Paige Davies and great-granddaughter Sophia, also several close nieces and a nephew.
Most of his working career was with the Calgary General Hospital and later with the Peter Lougheed Hospital. Graham will be sadly missed by family and friends in Canada, USA, Europe and Mazatlan, Mexico, his second home for six months of the year.
Cremation is by McInnis and Holloway with a Remembrance Celebration to follow later in the year. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (100, 119 - 14 Street N.W., Calgary, Alberta T2N 1Z6; telephone 403-351-7030; website: www.heartandstroke.ab.ca). A tree will be planted in one of McInnis and Holloway's forests in Graham's honor.

Dear Marilyn
Sorry to hear of your loss. Graham was a great man, although we had not seen him in a while, we greatly missed our talks "over the fence". Our condolences.
