GRAHAM, CEDRIC RODGER “RICK”
Peacefully on Monday January 16, 2012 in his 70th year, after a short illness at St. Josephs Hospital in Toronto. Loving husband of 42 years to Janice. Dear son in law of Bernice Akitt. Brother in law of Deby and Fred. Loving uncle of Janice Lynn, great uncle of Shane. Dearly missed by his aunt Jean Sholtz. Survived by his brother Calvin. At Ricks request cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you Janice and your family during this difficult time. Rick will surely be missed, but I am glad that he is with Jennie (feeding her as many cookies as she wants).

Freda
Janice, we are praying for you and Bernice. Hope to touch base real soon.
Dear Janice, I was saddened to read the passing of Rick. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Dear Janice,
We will always carry Rick’s memory within our hearts. He was one of a kind friend. A friend who was so loyal that he never missed one week calling me and asking about the ” girls”, how I was doing and how the ” boy ( John) was doing. Every time he called, he would say … It must be Thursday!
We have so many fonds memories of of our card games together, and our trips to Buffalo … and of course, our beloved Jennie is with him now … Waiting for the ” cookie man” to keep on feeding her cookies. …
Our thoughts are with you …
Much love
John and Elizabeth

My dear Janice
There are no words that I can find to describe the privilege I enjoyed in having Rick as my friend. He was a wonderful man and a great friend. He insisted that we got together at least once per month to celebrate friendship. When I was recovering from my illness in 2001, Rick called me, almost every day that year to offer me some cheer. I will miss Rick and I will miss a great friend. He brought a lot of joy into my life.
Rick, my friend, you must be dancing with the angels now
Dear Janice, may God grant you strength at these difficult times and help you celebrate the life of a man who helped so many people get back on their feet, because he felt it was the right thing to do.
God speed dear Rick, you were one of a kind. I will miss you
Sincerely
