James "Graham" Norval
December 24, 1944 - September 20, 2024
Peacefully surrounded by all of his family at Norfolk General Hospital, Simcoe, on Friday September 20, 2024 at the age of 79 years. Loving husband and best friend to Karen. Loving & respected Dad to Kim & Larry Huffman, Samantha & Shawn Swarts, and Kristine & Darren Courrier. Loving Papa to Carly & Craig, Braden & Robyn, Zach & Ayala, Chase & Madison, Haven, Kassie & Blake, Abigail, Benjamin, Kaitlyn and Dylan. Loving Papa G to Noa, Lottie and Finn. Brother of Stuart (deceased) & Sandra. Brother-in-Law of Ted & Irina, and Geoff & Lorie. You couldn’t mention Graham without mentioning his passion for the Toronto Argonauts, his love ran deep for that team almost as deeply as his love for his family and friends. Graham was never far from his family. You could find him at all of his grandkids sporting events, every monumental occasion or relaxing in the sunroom maneuvering through the hustle and bustle of his loud loving family. Graham and Karen fulfilled a wonderful life together. Traveling, enjoying music, watching the Argos and creating special memories for their grandkids. Graham & Karen proudly raised three daughters who will continue to carry on his passion and legacy. Go Argos.
The family will honour his life with visitation at Hyde & Mott Chapel of R.H.B. Anderson Funeral Homes Ltd., 60 Main St. S., Hagersville on Tuesday 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm. Where Funeral Service will be held in the chapel on Wednesday September 25, 2024 at 1pm. Followed by friendship and celebration at the Waterford Legion from 2:30pm - 5:30pm. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to Simcoe District Humane Society. www.rhbanderson.com
