Eight Bells – Graham Neale

May 26, 2026

August 3, 1940 – May 19, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Graham Neale on May 19th, at the age of 85. Graham was born on August 3, 1940 in Birmingham, England and emigrated to Canada in 1956. 

Graham is survived by his beloved wife, Judy, of 50 years and best friend. They lived together in their first house in Don Mills, 49 years ago. 

Graham leaves behind a legacy of hard work, loyalty, deep friendships, and a cherished member of his community. 

Graham was a man who found true purpose and joy in his profession. Throughout his long and distinguished business career in the Commercial Insurance industry, he was known for his relentless work ethic, integrity, and passion up to his last day. 

Graham built a rich and expansive family of friends. He led a full life and was a keen observer and participant in car racing and boat racing. He will be deeply missed by his circle of friends and neighbours. Graham was a friend to all with his easy-going manner and dry wit and will be forever in our hearts. 

A visitation to celebrate the life of Graham Neale will be held at Mount Pleasant Funeral Centre, located at 375 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto, Ontario on Sunday, May 31, 2026 from 2 to 4 p.m. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in memory of Graham may be made to Children’s Wish Foundation Canada “Make A Wish”. https://makeawish.ca/
