Dear Mary and Family,

We are sending our deepest sympathy on the loss of a great husband, father, father-in-law, and grandfather. We know he will be missed by many.

While the loss of Dad ( Norman ) is still so recent , we would like to think of the two of them meeting and having a great time telling stories and catching up about days on the Miramichi at Schooner Point .

May warm memories of happy yesterdays surround you all and bring you comfort.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you,

Susan Dickson and

Paula Blair and Family

Graham was a great teacher. He taught his New York friends to work hard, and to play hard. He and Mary showed us what a true partnership in marriage was all about.By hanging wallpaper,he said "The kids will never forget this", as his Van was being stolen in Brooklyn New York.Surprising friends and joining them for special occassions made beautiful memories.

The love he showed for his family and all those close to him will never be forgotten.

Although our relationship was on a business level, I always thought of Graham as a friend and someone I looked up to on a professional level. Our business partnership with Alltemp Products goes back many years and we have always been very appreciative of the business we have done with Graham and Jim and their group at Alltemp - this is a tremendous loss, not only to friends and family but also to the business community.

Mary, we send our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time and wish you God's blessing.

Sincerely,

Brad Quinn - Glengarry Products Inc.

Dear Mary and Family,

From all of the Reddingtons, please accept our sympathy, support and our fond thoughts following the loss of Graham.

The poet John Donne expressed the thought over 375 years ago that any person’s death diminishes us. The loss of Graham has truly and profoundly diminished Bev and me. It is again a reminder that we are all such small dots on the earth. I hope and pray that this horrible event will be an ongoing reminder that our own internal sympathy will be on display for all times and not just dusted off for now.

We all know that Graham was a very good person. He recognized need and despair when he saw it, and he always responded generously with help. We feel poignantly sad over his death and our loss. I will always remember his smile, his quizzical look when he considered a personal challenge, his forbearing understanding of business things, the fun times, and most of all his very tolerant, mild-tempered, and constant mentoring.

At times like this, the world must seem so small to you. If nothing else however, you have your own vulnerability to share with your wonderful family.

I have said this before, but because of Graham, we will all live differently, he was important.

We genuinely look forward to seeing you soon.

With our very best wishes, love and respect, Bev and Rick

To the Graham family:

I have known Graham for quite a few years and he was always a shrewd business man but a gentleman first. He was very well respected in our industry and had made a big impact with the services he provided.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the family and also to his partner and friend Jim MacKenzie.

I also loss my sweetheart earlier this year to this ugly disease, and I know how hard it is to lose someone you love.

Knowing that is suffering is now over, my prayers are with him, and all our angels will look over us.

Take care of each other and remember to Love Always and Forever.

Comment: I dealt with Graham for many years when I was with Mossman's Appliance Parts & AMRE Supply in Winnipeg. I always looked forward to his visits and he was one of the most personable and passionate suppliers I ever had occasion to deal with.

A scotch and a smile were guaranteed.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I know he'll be sadly missed.

Sincerely,

John had lost contact since Mossman's Appliance parts had closed, but our son Keith Muracz has spoken to him over the years and always would call us that Graham had said hello!

Title: To the Northam Family and Employees at Alltemp

Comment:

Several of my co-workers and myself have had the privalage of doing business and being friends with Graham for over thirty years. Many of us were still teenagers when we first met Graham, he was our mentor at that time teaching us how refrigeration worked.

Graham was a great salesman, he was the reason we have such a long ongoing relationship with the Alltemp company.

The people we deal with today continue the corporate culture Graham and Jim had instilled early on in their business.

We will miss talking, playing gof and having dinner together.
