Joseph Peter GRAW

On behalf of Normandale Community College, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Joseph Graw. It is because of Mr. Graw's vision and dedication for establishing our college that countless students were able to pursue and achieve their academic goals at Normandale Community College. This year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary and because of his legacy, countless students will realize their academic dreams well into the future. We were so honored to welcome Mr. Graw to campus just a few weeks ago and show him the fruits of his labor (we are currently the largest community college in the state of Minnesota).

Joe was a great man that has left an amazing legacy. His children and grand-children are amazing people that have done/are doing amazing things for this world. Although we are losing Joe, I find joy in knowing that he went on his terms, and that he gets to be reunited with his wife Dorthy.

My dad left this world August 29, 2018, at 103 years of age, to be with his beloved wife, Dorothy. Your family will miss you "Bop" and hope that you will now find peace. You were an amazing man and father. Thank you for setting such a great example for us all in the Graw family.

My deepest sympathies to the family.
