Born on December 24, 1924 in Spruce Hill Twp., Juniata County, he was a son of the late William and Mabel (Cunningham) Graham. On January 1, 1950, he married the late Mary (Cleck) Graham, with whom he was blessed to share over 53 years of marriage before her passing on April 7, 2003.

Mr. Graham was a proud World War II Veteran honorably serving our country with the United States Army.
