Robert was preceded in death by his
grandmother, grandfather, mother, father and 2
brothers. He is survived by a brother Walter,
and a sister Betty Brush. He is also survived by
his sister in laws Marianne, Sandra and Alice.
Several cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces
and great nephews and one great-great niece.
We are working on setting up a memorial
service, check back for details in a few days.
Robert was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on
March 29, 1923 to Vera May Lufkin and Robert
Earl Graham. His mother remarried to Walter
Fletcher. He has lived in Minnesota, California
and Washington. He did a lot of different types
of jobs during his life, mainly at Sawmills in
Tacoma. The last 35 to 40 years he lived and
worked at the Temple Theater for the Masonic
Grand Lodge, as the assistant to the Grand
Secretary Emeritus, as well as helping the
present owners of the Landmark Convention
Center.
Robert belonged to the Master Masons at
Defiance Lodge #22 and Fern Hill #80. He was a
life member of Corinthian Chapter #172 order of
the Easternstar. He was also a member of the
Afifi Shrine, Royal Arch Masons, Elks and
numerous other organizations.
Robert was a very generous person. He was
always doing something for someone other than
himself. He would take his nieces and nephews to
the Seattle Center or to a movie and to dinner.
One place all the kids would look forward to was
going to the Afifi Shrine Circus each year. He
was always giving them little things just
because that was what he did. He never had a
pocket that didn’t have candy or a squeaky noise
maker in it. He even shared his candy with the
children he met while riding on the city bus. He
never wasted a day without taking a ride on the
city bus, where would he go, only he knew that.
Sometimes just around the city and sometimes to
Seattle and even Olympia, when he just wanted to
ride.
When his grandmother and grandfather were
alive he would go on vacation with them and take
them all over the West Coast because he loved
them and wanted to do special things for them.
He was a very warm and special person who only
wanted to please everyone who walked beside him.
He will be missed by everyone. We all know he
is back with his family and until we meet again
there will be an empty place in all our lives.
WE LOVE YOU ROBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
