Sorry for your loss. While on secondment at Chalk River in the '70s, Craig helped with solving the cracking problem in CANDU tubes and kept us on our toes.

My sincere condolences to all of you.
I cannot think about my summers as a child and youth without thinking about your Dad. The enormous amount of fun that was had at your family cottage, my home and Fairy Lake was largely in part due to Craig. He taught me how to waterski and water disc around Fairy Lake and the endless amount of hot dogs and cheesies on the dock were always a bonus. Because of him I have a life long love of waterskiing.
My friendship to this day remains with Karen and now my kids are great friends with Craig´s oldest grandson. He leaves a legacy of friendships through his existence.
Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
