Major (Ret’d) Lloyd Edward Graham, OMM, CD

Major (Ret’d) Lloyd Edward Graham, OMM, CD, 84, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2022, after a short but fierce battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Louise (Jarand); his sister, Marilyn Morris; his two children, Gordon Graham and Karen Best; and four grandchildren. From Mountain Park, Alberta, Lloyd knew from childhood that he was destined for a career in aviation. He joined the military at 18 and married his sweetie, Mary-Lou, at 24. They raised their children in 5 provinces and settled in Nova Scotia after retirement. Lloyd spent 39 ½ years serving Canada in the RCAF and dedicated an unimaginable number of hours to organizations close to his heart – Greenwood Military Aviation Museum, VP International, Lake George Property Owners Society, St. Mark’s Chapel and the Canadian Cancer Society. He considered it a privilege to be appointed the Honorary Colonel of 404 Sqn in 2008 for 4 ½ years. He will be missed immensely by all whose lives he touched. Heartfelt thanks go to his team of doctors and nurses at the Valley Regional Hospital for the exceptional care he received. Donations in his memory may be made to Greenwood Military Aviation Museum, Valley Regional Hospital Foundation, or the charity of your choice.
