Richmond Hill –

Robert "Bob" Lyndon Graham (November 30, 1933 – April 19, 2017) passed away peacefully, surrounded by the family that loved him. He was born in Maysville, KY, but his family moved to Erlanger, KY, when he was a small boy.  He graduated from Lloyd High School in 1951 and from the University of Kentucky with a business degree in 1955.  In 1954, he married the love of his life, Lillian Hope Thornton Graham.  He served in the Army Signal Corps and began his long career in computers during his service. After leaving the Army, he worked as a salesman of computer hardware and software for GE, RCA, Harris Corporation, and Continental Computer, fully retiring less than three years ago.  A lover of sports, Bob played high school basketball.  At Dunwoody Baptist Church, he played softball and basketball for many years.  He loved the Atlanta Braves, the Kentucky Wildcats, and any team his children and grandchildren played on. Bob is preceded in death by his daughter, Andrea Graham Skinner.  He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Lillian; his daughters, Pamela Graham Burkhalter and Julie Graham Chapman; his sons-in-law Arthur Skinner, Ralph Chapman, Jr., and Bob Meloche; his grandchildren, Sutton Burkhalter, Jennifer Cleland, Ashley Skinner Nau, Graham Burkhalter, Graham Skinner, Bernadette Meloche, Chap Chapman, Blaine Chapman, and Braden Chapman; his great-grandchildren Andrea Nau, Griffin Nau, Lyndon Nau, Carrigan Nau, Ramsey Nau, Miller Nau and Noble Skinner; and his sister, Joyce Graham Newsom.
