Mementos

On December 3, just after his 95th birthday, Graham slipped gently away. He hadn't wanted an obituary, and the following day when looking for a notebook in which to write about him, a paper appeared in which he had written: How I want to be remembered - As one who enjoys life - people - quiet - action - Wonders at past, present, future - the new - the old - Who lives in the present - Who loves and is loved - And he most surely is - We will miss him and love him forever. His wife Linda and all his children and grandchildren; Kali Bohannon and her children Michele Huffman and Meghan Huffman; Judy and Joe Liles, and their children Heather Conover and Terry Whitlam and Virginia Conover and Kyle; Angus Gordon; Jon and Pamela Carter and their children Jake, Harry and Sophia; Whendy Carter and her children Carter Schonwald, Rosalind Schonwald and Matthew Steffen, Hannah Rose Schonwald and Vince Hartman; Ellen Carter and her children Gabe Carter-Weidenfeld and Noa Carter-Weidenfeld; Kirin Hammer, deceased.

We have such fond memories of Graham, especially sharing the great adventure of creating summer camp with Maria's Children in Russia! Graham's steady, wise insights and calm ways of sharing them contributed to the whole group. The twinkle in his eyes made it clear he appreciated meeting and helping a wide variety of new people! We learned from him about the importance of broad perspectives one can develop from many life experiences. His was a life well lived! Thinking of you, deal Linda!

I had the honor of knowing Graham (and Linda) from the Dakin House days at Hampshire College a few years ago! Graham was always so kind, thoughtful and supportive. He was so available to students and was genuinely concerned for their wellbeing. I send my thoughts and prayers for Linda and extended family as you cope with the loss of such a wonderful man.

Dear Linda, it has been but a month, yet we are feeling like Graham's passing was yesterday. We see you and Graham just as you (and we) were nearly forty years ago. We still imagine ourselves warmed and fed in your Newfane kitchen. The two of you nurtured us (and everyone around you). Although we met when you came to Gary's clinic for care, in fact Graham and you cared for us. We loved seeing you both in Hadley, but truly it was the Newfane experience that affected us so deeply. Graham was always a source of wisdom and spiritual strength, teaching without words at even the most mundane of activities (like putting up the winter's firewood). We shall miss him, and in that he will live on in us. We send our condolences and our love.

Dear Linda and family, I never knew Graham very well, but always enjoyed seeing him (and Linda) at various places around Brattleboro, such as the Farmer's Market. He was so warm, sweet, gentle--always a smile. I was saddened to see he had passed. My heart goes out to you, Linda, and your family members. I know you will miss him very much.

My deepest condolences to Linda and the rest of the family. Graham was just a gift to the Care Center and its students. He was so bright , sweet and warm and we loved him so much! I hope as Graham sleeps with the angels he is aware of how grateful we are for the time he spent here. Dear Linda, we send love and prayers your way.
