GRAHAM CHAPMAN
Dad came to Canada from Yorkshire, England in 1968 and secured work as a Dental Technician. It was there that he met Arlene Flamand, whom he married in 1970. They had two daughters, Dawn was born in 1972 and Michelle was born in 1975. Dad's career grew and he and Mom decided to move to a brand new community where they would build their own home and a new life for their daughters. Dad retired in 2016. He fulfilled his dream of moving to the cabin he and Mom built in Woodridge. When his health began to fail, he moved back to the city to be closer to his daughters, their spouses, Dana and Jason and his grandchildren, Brianna and Matthew. Dad was a quiet man. He loved the serenity that he found in nature through his long walks with his beloved dog, Danny. He enjoyed photography as a way to capture that peace. He was very introspective and cherished his quiet times by reading and writing.
There will be a private Celebration of Life for his immediate family in the spring near his cabin.
"What we have once enjoyed deeply
we can never lose. All that we love
deeply becomes part of us."

Graham was indeed a equivalent person with an intricate personality of self indulgence as artistically spoken in quiets of self's. The few time's I met my Uncle a portrait appeared in my minds eye's a wish that gave me a reflective view of myself that was almost unknown a little instinctive as creative with esteem and awareness. I wished as others to speak to Graham otherwise the few time's I did I glanced with a clear mind. I'll always remember Graham as quite as quite with good impression. Best wishes to my family and well being for all, from and to. 'May all Thought be with you'. A beloved thank you with regards to Graham. - Posted by: phillip chapman (Family) on: Feb 09, 2020

I worked with Graham for years, he was a highly intelligent, decent person. He adored his daughters and spoke of them often. I often intended to visit him in Woodridge now I wish I had. We can remember Graham and his lovely wife when they lived on Tweed and they had these darling little girls. He was so proud of his family. He was so talented, building his cabin, from scratch. He wished he could live there with his wife and little girls and get away from it all.. Rest in peace, Graham. - Posted by: grant and marianne humphreys (previous co worker ) on: Feb 01, 2020
