>>>>Dayton Fowler Grafman, 85, of Phoenix passed away peacefully at home on June 27, 2008. He was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1923 and received both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. Dayton was an accomplished concert pianist and a passionate advocate of classical music, especially piano. After a successful career in college administration in Evanston, Illinois, he and his wife, Laura, moved to the Valley in 1976. Dayton immediately became active in the arts community. He spent much of his career in philanthropy to benefit arts organizations including The Phoenix Symphony, and the College of Fine Arts at Arizona State University. Dayton's volunteer activities included serving on the Board of the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, curator of the Virginia G. Piper Concert Series at the Center, and was the past Chairman of the Board of the Phoenix Symphony. He was an esteemed Steinway artist and artist-in-residence in Phoenix. He was the recipient of the prestigious Steinway Award for Community Service and the Steinway 150th Anniversary Gold Medal. He was a member of the Phoenix Rotary Club 100 for 10 years and currently a member of Scottsdale Rotary. Dayton was known for his winning smile, charisma, genuine warmth and caring ways. He was the epitome of a true gentleman. Dayton is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Laura, and his devoted daughter, Lynn. A celebration of his life was held on Wednesday, July 9, at Brophy Chapel in Phoenix, Arizona.
