Graham John Fill, age 76, of Tallahassee Florida, passed Saturday morning, April 11, 2026, with the comfort of his loving family by his side.
Graham was born and raised in Islington, a suburb of London England. His parents were George William Fill and Rose May (Madge) Fill, affectionately known as "Nana England". He graduated from Roxeth Manor Secondary Modern where he enjoyed playing on the rugby team as a hooker.
Immediately after graduating, Graham went to work as a Junior accountant for George Newnes Publishing at South Hampton Street in London. In addition, he worked for Hamlin House Books as Product Manager then Marketing Manager. When he turned twenty-one, Graham moved to Sydney Australia to work at several companies including Kevin Weldon’s Publishing and Fairfax Publishing and held various positions in music CD, children’s books, and cookbook publishing. He also started his own business - Jigsaw Publishing LLC, where he focused on music CD publishing and children’s books and collaborating with Allied Artists. After moving to the United States, Graham travelled the world selling publishing products at the London, Bologna, Frankfort, USA and Guadalajara Book Fairs as President and CEO of Jigsaw Publishing. When things got slow Graham worked in other positions such as a realtor, working in the leasing department of Lincoln of Wayne and he was an adored greeter at Vander May’s Wayne Colonial Funeral Home. Graham and his wife Barbara moved to Tallahassee, Florida where he ultimately retired.
Graham was a loving, caring, husband and father who was devoted to his family. For those who knew him he had a clever quick wit and a great sense of humor. He could put a smile on anyone’s face. He was very personable and caring to everyone, even strangers. Graham was sharp minded with numbers and always had a quick comeback whenever people were teasing each other. He loved boating and always liked to “stay above the water and not be in it.” He loved boating so much that, over the course of his boating years, he had owned a total of seven different boats. He loved to travel all over the world, making new friends and acquaintances too. When moving to Tallahassee Florida, Graham became the neighborhood “guv’nah.” He easily became good friends with all the restaurant owners and, when home, he loved a good barbecue or seafood boil.
Graham loved to help others so much! He gladly volunteered as a playground monitor at St Anthony's Grammar School in Butler, NJ where he was known as “Guard Guard.” He lent a hand to the stage crew for the Butler High School plays and musicals and he became an Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 192 at Immaculate Heart of Mary in Wayne, NJ where he was the counselor for the Cooking Merit Badge (he loved tasty food!). For Graham, his involvement with the Boys Scouts held a special place in his heart for the comradery and bonding of all the leaders as they strived to be the best guides to the young boys and young men while having a great time doing it. When moving to Tallahassee he became one the biggest fans of Florida State University’s football team and especially the FSU Marching Band and their war chant - “Go Noles!”
Graham met his beloved wife Barbara in New Jersey, while both were travelling on business. The relationship blossomed from there. Graham and Barbara were married on June 11th, 1995, at Our Lady of the Holy Angels Catholic Church in Little Falls NJ. They immediately moved to England for a few years. In 1997, they moved back to the States – Bayville, New Jersey. After living in there for a few more years, they started a new family together in Butler, New Jersey with the arrival of two wonderful children - Georgie and Jonathan (and Acie the dog). His two fantastic sons David and his wife Emma, and Michael (both Australia) from a previous marriage (Lesley- Australia) and his daughter Georgie and son Jonathan(USA) are very close and have a positive and special sibling’s bond of love and kinship. All four children have Graham’s fantastic sense of humor and wit. Graham and Barbara enjoyed the blessing of celebrating their 30 years of marriage last year. Graham also held a special place in his heart for his cousin Stephen Say and wife Pamela (England) and late cousin Peter Watson and surviving wife Mandy (England) as well as for the blessing of being a brother-in-law to Barbara’s siblings Louis Lechner and his wife Doreen (Atlanta, Georgia USA) and Cathy Lechner-Abbott and her husband John (Wayne, NJ USA).
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the following worthy charities in Graham's memory, would be appreciated:
