So sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I was one of his 3 housemates at Cassiar St in Vancouver around 1975, a wild time for us bachelors. The pranks we pulled on each other were hilarious, some unprintable, and Craig's inventive sense of humour was behind many of them. Our rent totalled $165 a month for the whole 4 bedroom one bathroom house and we put another $15.00 each per month into a food budget. We did not eat well, but Craig was our best chef. Rest we'll my old friend, I regret that we lost touch over the decades.

Craig... My good pal... I'll miss you! We laughed at work... And I shall never see or hear a screeching rubber chicken without seeing you pop up, arms overhead with that big smile. "Number 7, back to your sewing machine!" Gillian and Matthew... Smile about all the great memories and hold them near.

I have fond memories of Craig. We worked together for a brief time. He definitely made me laugh with his quirky sense of humour! We shared a love for animals....especially our lovebirds. He was indeed a kind hearted devoted family man and will truly be missed. Warm regards, Elisa Robison
