It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Malcolm Graham, who died peacefully in Toronto just days before his 97th birthday. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Sheila Mary Graham (Ross), Malcolm was surrounded by family and close friends. He is lovingly remembered by his brother, Bruce Graham; and his nieces, Leslie Graham and Lee-Anne Bacina. Malcolm was raised in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. He became a Professor of Physics at the University of Toronto and was a distinguished scholar in Quantum Condensed Matter Physics (QCMP). His career was marked by groundbreaking research in low-temperature physics, with broad interests spanning superfluids, superconductors, electromagnetic fields, and later in life, pattern formation in nonlinear systems. He studied physics at Dalhousie University and earned his Ph.D. at Cambridge University. Later, he took sabbaticals in Kyoto, Japan and Irvine, California. At the University of Toronto, Malcolm inspired generations of students. Known for his sharp wit and distinctive personality, he was once described in a student review as "gratuitously eccentric" - a characterization he quietly delighted in. Remarkably, he continued writing physics papers into his 95th year. In 2022, he independently published The Seven Heats of Entropy, a short book on thermodynamics that included original ideas on entropy and global warming. Malcolm was a longtime volunteer at the Royal Ontario Museum and a generous supporter of scholarships, donating his collection of rare physics books to the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto. In Malcolm's words: "If you missed him, you missed a treat!"
