William W. Graham
February 5, 1944 — November 5, 2010
William W. “Bill” Graham, 66, of Coal City, entered his eternal heavenly home Friday November 5, 2010. He was born February 5, 1944, in Whitby, the son of the late Tracy and Dona (Keffer) Graham, growing up in Stotesbury and Crab Orchard. He was a faithful member of the Coal City Church of God where he served as Sunday School Superintendent and “candy man” to the children.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother Eugene Graham and one nephew Joey Kelley.
Those left to cherish his lovingly warm memories are his wife, Sue Cole Graham; brothers Fred Graham and his wife Erma, James Graham and his wife Barbara, Danny Graham and his companion Carla Benfield; sisters Carol Childs and her husband Daniel, Mary Meadows, Teresa Pettry and her husband Danny; additional family members Betty and Ben Kelley, John Glen and Barbara Kelley; and special adored nieces and nephews who highlighted his life. He loved all of his family dearly.
Bill enjoyed singing in the church choir, restoring old cars, fishing, carpentry, woodworking, sports, outdoors, traveling, and helping others. He was devoted to his church, wife and family, and was a blessing to all!
Bill retired from Precision Coal Lab of Daniels, where he made many life-long friends.
Bill had a great faith in God, trusting him daily, and fought a courageous battle with cancer (II Tim 4:7,8). He was a good man and a wonderful husband and will be greatly missed by loved ones and friends. As the spirit and soul lives on, Bill will always remain alive in our hearts and souls, being forever an integral part of us. Our lives have been made brighter, our hearts fuller by knowing and loving him (I Peter 5:10).
Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 9, 2010, at the Coal City Church of God, with the Bishop Clarence Lee officiating. Burial will follow in Sunset Memorial Park. The family will receive friends on Monday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Calfee Funeral Home, 800 South Oakwood Avenue, Beckley and at the church one hour prior to service on Tuesday.
Family and friends will serve as pallbearers.
