Kevin Harrington Graham
formerly of Billerica, MA; 64

MARSTONS MILLS -- In loving Memory of Kevin Harrington Graham, 64, who passed away on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at the Cape Cod Hospital surrounded by the loving words and hands of his children. Born June 26, 1952 in Lowell, MA to parents William F. Graham and E. Marjorie (Harrington) Graham of Billerica. He was the younger brother of the late Bill Graham, also of Billerica. A graduate of Billerica Memorial High School Class of 1970, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy shortly thereafter.

A Navel Veteran with an aptitude for numbers, he spent the bulk of his professional career as Senior Auditor for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from which he recently retired. He was both a youth soccer coach and active member of the PTA as his young children were growing up.

The quintessential Boston Sports fanatic, he raised his children to be the same. He is survived by his son Kevin L. Graham, wife Kate, and granddaughter Haley of Mashpee, MA. His daughter Julie L. Graham; of Manhattan Beach, California. His nephew Billy Graham and family; of California. And niece Jennifer Graham and family of Massachusetts.

He loved his "Sunday drive" be it day or night with no intended destination in sight, the adventures along the way yielding the reward. Maine was a second home to him, and a sanctuary through much of his adolescent and teenage years. A place he was later able to share with his children when they were young. A gifted conversationalist, few will forget his ability to both listen, and engage, in healthy debate. A trivia buff, with quite the library of knowledge and readings at his mental disposal, a sanctioned family gathering was at 7:30pm every evening. Jeopardy. While music guided him through much of his life; he enjoyed, films, his vegetable garden, and anything whatsoever to do with American history.

A longtime resident of Falmouth, MA and most recently Marstons Mills, he dedicated much of his life to opening his heart and his home to children faced with less than ideal circumstances as a Foster Parent for multiple state organizations. Known to so many as the one and only "Pops"; he was generous with any and every resource he had, however modest they may be. A testament to that dedication was the affect his open definition of "family" had in shaping the lives of countless others.

He is also survived by his foster son, Michael D. Comstock and wife Melanie of Falmouth, their 4 children; Makenzy, Mitchel, Marshal and Michael Jr. His foster sons Christopher M. Griswold and Thomas Reynolds and both their loved ones, of Marstons Mills. And DJ his foster grandson. All of who played an integral part in his care alongside Kevin and Julie over the recent months before his passing.

GRAHAM -- A eulogy followed by funeral Mass will begin at 10:45 a.m. Saturday, July 1st at St. Patrick Church, 511 Main Street, Falmouth.

Burial will be at Noon on Saturday, July 15th at the Fox Hill Cemetery, 130 Andover Road, Billerica, MA.

A self-professed cat person; he was a lover of all animals. In lieu of flowers please make donations in his memory to MSPCA Cape Cod, 1577 Falmouth Rd., Centerville, MA 02632.
