Craig D. Dinnie

My deepest condolences. I graduated from Classical High School in 1984, and Mr. Dinnie was an excellent teacher; he will be missed.

On the anniversary of his death, I wanted to honor Craig for the man he was - kind, sweet and devoted - an all around great guy. He is missed and loved by so many! It hasn't been an easy year for his family, especially Cathy, Justin, Cara and Agnes. They and his close friends truly feel his loss every day. We suffer a little every time we think about him, which is often! Now, he is watching over his loved ones and no doubt singing all the time. That gives me solace.

It has been a very, very long time but I knew Craig in the mid 60's and played Bass guitar with him in a Band called "The Craig Dinnie Fox"...These were wonderful years !....I believe the band photo you show is of the band...Craig was truly a great vocalist....We loved playing those classic 60's tunes...I currently live in NJ...Call if you wish and I can share some stories from that time...>>>dennis 732-255-7556

I had Mr.Dinnie as a teacher, he was a truly amazing role model. He made learning interesting and enjoyable.I will always think of him fondly as one of the best teachers that I have ever had. What a loss to society! He will truly be missed.

I practically lived in room 206, unit 308. English 9C, Chess Club, English 11C and Photojournalism (Yearbook). So much of what I learned back then still applies today! I still do not know the difference between "Lie" and "Lay"..... I remember English 9c - I hid his coffee so well, and the lecture we got the next day.... The time he discovered that students were using the vocab sentences to insult each others mothers, how hard he laughed when Lynn Iserman was rushing to unlock the...

R.I.P. to one of the best teacher in Central, you truly cared about your students and even though I was in business yearbook, you still helped me when I needed it. We need more teacher like you. Justin, my sympathy is with you and your family.

Mr. Dinnie was my homeroom teacher and yearbook advisor from 1982 to 1984 at Classical High School. I consider my involvement in yearbook the highlight of my high school years. Mr. Dinnie always treated his student staff with respect, more like colleagues than just students; it was great preparation for future challenges in college and work. He new how to build a great team and to bring everyone together to accomplish the demanding task of producing a yearbook.
My involvement as an editor...
