Graham N. Raynolds ’60

Graham N. Raynolds ’60, of Hadlyme, Conn.; June 7. He enrolled at Brown and completed two years before enlisting in the U.S. Army and serving in the Korean War. After his honorable discharge, he returned to Brown to complete his degree. He earned a private pilot’s license and during the 1960s and 1970s made a living working for various lengths of time along the U.S. Gulf Coast flying helicopters to offshore oil rigs and in Alaska flying seaplanes as a bush pilot. It was during his time in Alaska that he crash landed the plane on a glacier and had to survive a week in his street clothes with only a sleeping bag and expired canned goods he found in a hunting cabin. He returned to Hadlyme and became one of the many who contracted and suffered from Lyme disease. He enjoyed singing, joining the Chorus of Westerly in 1994 and remaining an active participant for the next 19 years. He participated in several performances with the chorus over the years, traveling to England and singing at Westminster Abbey and St. Albans Cathedral. He was honored to learn from the legendary Sir David Willcocks. Later, after working for years on website design and management jobs, he started his own business in the ’80s called Prime Time Satellite TV, installing satellite dishes in backyards. He enjoyed sailing on the Connecticut River, hiking, camping, and walking the trails of the Gillette Castle grounds. He is survived by a niece and a nephew.
