GRAHAM GLEZERSON It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Graham Glezerson, husband to Monica Prokopchuk and father to Nikki MacPherson (Kyle) and Bryan Glezerson, on Monday, August 14, 2017 at the age of 60. Graham is also survived by his mother Ruth, sister Helen (Michael), brother Michael (Sharon), and nieces and nephews, Dan (Cayley), Kim, Ricky, Kira and Dean as well as his family-in-law and first wife Peta. He was predeceased by his father Charles and second wife Kelly. Graham was born in Johannesburg, South Africa where he began his career as a Urologist after graduating from Witwatersrand University. He carried this practice to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and then to Winnipeg, Manitoba where he remained the rest of his life. A generous husband and father, and passionate hockey fan, Graham valued the gifts of travel and fine foods from around the world. A highly respected surgeon, passionate about his work, he will be remembered and his life celebrated by his family and friends around the world. In accordance with Graham's wishes, a private funeral took place last week with interment at Shaarey Zedek Cemetery, along with private shiva. Donations can be made in his honour to Chesed Shel Emes, 1023 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R2W 3P9.

I just came to know Dr G Glezerson is no more. He did a stone surgery on me and I never had any issues since then. Thanks Dr Glezerson, May you rest in peace. - Posted by: Nick Ajmera (Patiient) on: Mar 08, 2018

I would like to express my sympathies to the Glezerson family at the loss of a father, husband and son. Dr. Graham was my doctor when I needed a tumor removed and in the subsequent treatment. For me he was a straight-talking, highly skilled doctor, who did his work efficiently and cleanly. I felt very comfortable in his competent hands. My last appointment with him should have been in mid-July. I grieve with you at his loss. May the God of all comfort be with you in your sorrow.

Dr. Graham was my urologist since 2010 and he had been so generous to me, his patient. He just conducted my surgery last Feb. 27, 2017. That was the last time we've met. I was scheduled April 17, 2017 to meet him to discuss the result of my operation but was sad when the news broke out that he had passed. Farewell Dr. Graham, may you rest in peace and to the family left behind, our sincere condolences. Thank you. - Posted by: Wilson (Patient) on: Aug 29, 2017

Our deepest condolences to Monica and Graham's family. Graham was a welcome addition to our family and we enjoyed having him join Easter and Christmas at the Zembiks. He gave me my first seadoo ride at the lake and brought my favourite Polish vodka to Easter a couple years ago. We're lucky to have had him in the family for the last few years! - Posted by: Melissa Zembik and Liv and Trevor Rudniski (Cousins ) on: Aug 26, 2017

I had the privilege of working with Graham for many years prior to my retirement a few years ago and also with his late wife Kelly and I recently became his patient. He was a genuinely nice guy of whom I can think of nothing bad to say. My sympathy to his family - gone too soon. - Posted by: Dr Martin Davis (former c0lleague ,friend and patient) on: Aug 26, 2017

I met Dr. Glezerson at Manitoba CLinic 10 years ago. I was a newcomer like him and with his generosity and kindness we were able to connect and be friends. He also helped my husband once we finished our "Jews by choice program" and he was the surgeon that performed his circumcision and gave his all the attention and care he could. He was at our Jewish wedding as a guest and we had so many conversations on Shabbats, in the parking lot and corridors at Manitoba clinic. I was deeply sad by not receiving a note from the general MB clinic office of his passing away and when I found out I had missed his funeral by one day. He was an amazing doctor and a friend that we trusted. I wish he was still between us and could spend more decades being the wonderful human being he was. I offer my condolences to the family and my his memory be a blessing in everyone s life he touched. - Posted by: Dr Priscilla Kerr (Co worker , friend ) on: Aug 26, 2017
