Brothers and Sisters,

It is with great regret that we inform you of the passing of Brother Graham Lougher this morning at his home in Kamloops.

Captain Lougher was a highly respected, hardworking, dedicated member of Local 1782 and Coquitlam Fire Rescue. He began his career in Coquitlam on September 25, 1973 and retired on April 30, 2004.

Graham put up a brave fight but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries. He always put forward a brave face and maintained his great sense of humor throughout his battle.

We will send out information regarding a service as it is received.

Biographical Comments
Graham was born in Eureka, California on April 16, 1949 to Tom and Doris Lougher who had emigrated to the U.S. from Wales after WWll to join Tom’s two brothers. In 1959, when he was ten, the family moved back to Wales. They made one more move to Canada in 1967 and settled for good in Coquitlam, B.C.

After a few years at different jobs he joined the Coquitlam Fire Department in September 1973 and retired after 31 years in April 2004. There he found his other family; and the friendships he made there, as well as those built through other pursuits and endeavours through the years, sustained him until the end. Many of those friends, especially in Kamloops helped him and kept an eye on him during his last struggles.
