GRAHAM NEVILLE TURNER March 28, 1937 - July 31, 2012 Graham died suddenly, but peacefully, at home on the morning of Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at the age of 75 years. He leaves behind Ann, his wife of 53 years; beloved twin brother Desmond; sons Damian, Paul and James; daughters Melody and Joanna, and grandson Max. It is impossible to sum up the whole of Graham's life and nature in a few words. He was born in and spent the early part of his life in South Africa, a country he loved. He and Ann came to Canada in their 20s and it soon became home. One of Graham's greatest natural gifts was his way with people. He was a gracious gentleman. His genuine care for others and uncanny ability to relate to them allowed him to touch many lives. He was actively involved at St. John Brebeuf Parish and he quietly excelled in his decades of work in the city's automotive business. Graham loved to read. He was mad for virtually all sports and craved good food. Most of all he loved being around his family. Funeral Liturgy will be Celebrated on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, at 10:30 a.m. in St. John Brebeuf Roman Catholic Church, 1707 John Brebeuf Place, with Rev. Fr. Mark Tarrant presiding. Sincere thanks to all who have offered support and condolences, with a special nod to Father Mark Tarrant for his kindness. Donations can be made in Graham's memory to Zulu Missions (zulumissions.com) or Winnipeg's Siloam Mission. A generous, kind, hard-working and loving man of integrity is with God now. We'll never forget him.
