Dennis Graham, a faithful brother, uncle, friend and teacher, passed away in Longview on Oct. 25, 2019. He is remembered for his positive outlook, giving spirit and helpful attitude. Born in 1942 in North Bend, Oregon, and raised in Aberdeen, Washington, he graduated from Weatherwax High School in 1961. After attending Grays Harbor Community College, Denny earned his bachelor of education degree from Western Washington University.
