We regret to advise of the death of Graham Westley Heron, peacefully on 18 August 2023, at age 74 in New Glasgow NS at the Aberdeen Hospital.
Born in Halifax, Graham began serving his country in his late teens when he joined the Canadian Army. He served for 11 years as a Field Engineer with the Royal Canadian Engineers before remustering to Aero Engine Technician with the Royal Canadian Air Force. During this career, Graham’s postings included being with the Navy for three years in the Mediterranean as a helicopter technical specialist. Upon retirement from the Canadian Forces, Graham was employed with the Shearwater Aviation Museum for five years where he worked on restoring antique military aircraft.
Funeral arrangements are private. Graham believed in “paying it forward.” If desired, paying a restaurant or food bill for a working family in his memory would be most fitting. Online condolences can be sent to the funeral home.
