KEITH CHARLES GRAHAM
Sadly, after a full and well lived life, Keith passed away peacefully at home on September 16, 2022.
Born November 9, 1934, to George and Sadie Graham, Keith spent his formative years in Neepawa. Later, he moved to Winnipeg and began a lengthy career in sales. Keith was an accomplished athlete. He played on 7 provincial championship teams in 3 sports. A rare feat. He was also chosen to represent Canada as a lightweight boxer in the Commonwealth Games in 1954. He played hockey until he was 84, with his last team the Super Seniors. More important to Keith than anything else was his daughter Leanne. Going for coffee with Keith always included an update, news of an upcoming visit and a dad's pride in her accomplishments.
As per his wishes there will be no funeral. A private internment will take place in Neepawa.
Bye for now, Dad. Love you and miss you already. Leanne Thanks, Wafers. See you later. All your pals.
As long as we remember them, a person is not really gone. Our memories of Keith will live on.

My condolences to you Leanne, so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories from the Sunday hockey games at the Old Arena, our dads getting together for drinks at the Spruce Sands. Another member of the original "Old Timers" will be back joining the team, R.I.P.
