Paul was Kingsley’s side kick through the Prep School and they have been best buddies for over 57 years. I came into the picture over 50 years ago, Kingsley having introduced me to Paul. In return, I introduced Kingsley to Wendy well over 10 years ago.
We have been through a lot together and we were so pleased when Wendy and Kingsley were married.
Contrarian in thought and generous in behaviour, Kingsley displayed a hardened exterior, but like a molten chocolate cake, was sweet and soft on the inside.
During the last many years, we’ve never seen Kingsley as happy and content. Thank you, Wendy for giving him that gift.

I was fortunate to have met Kingsley in first year at law school. His friendship and personality certainly helped with the stress.
We were also teammates on the ice. I was the goalie and he, as my defenceman, protected me (sometimes). While we did not cross paths in our law practices, I often thought of Kingsley as I pass by the small apartment building where Kingsley lived in the Yonge-Eglinton area.
I am truly saddened to have received this news. My condolences and sympathies to his family.

King was a great friend of mine. What I really respected about King was that he was always himself, a good, kind person always ready to enjoy his family and friends. When I was a UCC boarder, King and his family were amazingly generous with me, frequently having me spend the night at his place on Highbourne Ave. We always enjoyed our time together, mostly smoking and drinking too much:) Any time we went to a party you could always hear his infectious laugh above the crowd!
I will NEVER forget King!
He was taken too early and will be missed by all of his friends and family...a lot!

My most sincere condolences to Kingsely's wife Wendy and all of his family and dearest friends. I knew Kingsley professionally and we would often meet at the same social events. Although we were opponents inside court, outside court it was always a great pleasure to see him and catch up with him. He is gone too soon and will be much missed.

So sad to hear about Kingsley’s death. I met him when we worked as clerks at Osgoode Hall in 1972. He had a quirky sense of humour and we had fun times hanging out.Sincere condolences. Julia Davies

As most of you know I worked with his dad for 6 years at the OLD CITY HALL COURTHOUSE AND This is where I came to know King. He was both well liked and well known. His dedication to his clients and hard fought cases I remember well. He was good to the staff and was well liked in both the court reporters office and the court clerks office. He enjoyed his place up north and was a constend in his life. He was his own man,I think it’s hard to live in the shadow of his dad but He did very well. I will miss him a lot and will think of our time together as I do with his dad.To his wife and to Margaret I offer my sincere condolences. KEVIN BARNES SR. COURT CLERK RETIRED OLD CITY HALL.

Was very sad to hear of Kingsley's passing. He was a true warm and caring man. He had a wonderful smile and a great sense of humour. I will miss seeing him in the halls of Toronto's courthouses where he worked tirelessly for his clients and for the cause of justice. Rest in Peace Kingsley and thank you for all your support with my legal career. I am forever grateful to know you.

Kingsley was a true gentleman and a fierce opponent. I will always remember his kindness to many young lawyers as we started out in criminal law. He will be missed. My deepest condolences. Bev Olesko

As an OCH court reporter, I had the pleasure of working with Kingsley for many years. Despite his gruff and somewhat shy exterior, he couldn’t hide his intelligence and great wit. Needless to say, I am shocked at his passing and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family. I know he will be truly missed. Karen Macdonald

While Kingsley will always be remembered by our members as a tenacious opponent, dedicated to putting the Crown’s case to the test, he is equally well know for his quick wit, wry sense of humour and the enthusiasm he brought to advocacy. His passing is a great loss that leaves a hole in our system. Wendy and Ms Sutcliffe, and all of Kingsley’s family and friends, please accept our condolences in this very difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.

I shared office space with Kingsley Graham. Sharp, witty, he hid his heart behind a gruff exterior. We have lost a true chamption But no one was fooled. Thinking of Kingsley's family and friends at this time.

What a terrible loss....Kingsley was a true gentleman. I always enjoyed encountering him in the courthouse halls; a friendly smile, a twinkle in his eye, and a nice chat.
