Mr. Graham retired from the United States Postal Service and also served his country during the Korean War while serving in the United States Airforce. He was an avid University of Alabama fan and could be found holding down his recliner anytime the "Tide" was playing. He enjoyed wood working and realized the benefits of a good ole’ fishing trip. Above all he loved his Lord and his family and relished in the moments spent spoiling his grands and great grands. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to those who knew him best.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory, a Daughter - Angela Morrow, and Son-in-law - Ronald Morrow, Elba, AL, Grandson - Graham (Ashley) Morrow, Auburn, AL, Granddaughter - Rachel Morrow, Elba, AL, Great Grandson - Benjamin Jacob Casey, Elba, AL, and Great Grandson - Maddox Allen Morrow of Auburn, AL.

He anxiously awaited the reunion of those which preceded him in death, including the love of his life "Miss" Ruby Graham, along with his parents Lola Mae Morgan Graham, and Pleasant Clellard "P.C" Graham.
