John Robert (Jack) Graham ~ & The Deer

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 38 (ANIMALS)

This is my grandfather, John Robert Graham - he was known as Jack.

I never knew grandpa Jack because he left the family before I was born.

For that reason I was never able to ask him about this photo.

It appears that he is with a deer. 

The deer appears to be tame.

Then again, maybe that is not his house & it's  a game farm.

I'm not sure why it bothers me so much that I will never know why the deer is just standing beside Grandpa Jack.

Maybe Grandpa Jack was a deer whisperer.

I will never know the context of this Jack/Deer story. 

Remembering the grandpa I never knew:
John Robert (Jack) Graham

D: 5 AUG 2011 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

His parents were:

and

When it's too late to ask the questions!!! 

This is why I search - 

Cause ... 

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
