Not sure what to say?

Thinking of Mr Saurman's kindness. Teaching high-school kids could not have been easy but he was a very kind and memorable teacher whose class was one of the bright times of my day. He is greatly missed. Remembering His Memory, Quanetta

I remember him very well from Ottawa HS. I know it was a long time ago but the fact that I still remember what a funny & nice guy he was after more than 40 years speaks well of him. I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry you all had to go through his illness. I remember him fondly and I just know that he was loved in this life and has left a big hole in the lives of his family and friends. My brother Christopher Currie was in his class too; he has passed also but was friends with Craig and...

Phil - I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your brother. I tried to contact him after the first of the year but I did not receive a reply. It was a privilege to be able to assist with his care for the time that I knew him. He was a kind, loving man who was always positive about his condition. He and I had frequent conversations and I loved hearing his stories about teaching and music! He loved his students, friends and particularly his family. I know he will be missed by many. May...

Our sympathies to all of Craig's family and friends. We were fortunate to know Craig through our group meetings at Gilda's Club. We were always impressed with his positive attitude.

Craig, I was impressed with your friendliness, gentleness, and humor. And to read your Facebook posts these past few years, sharing your hope and positivity, was inspiring. Rest in peace, rise in glory. Garrett TenHave-Chapman

Craig was the best. He always saw the positives in people, and he was a great friend to so many. Whenever he came up to our cottage, he seemed to have stops on the way up and on the way back to see his friends. Maybe one reason that he had so many friends was that he was always content, perfectly happy with a 8 year old car, as long as it had a set of clubs in the trunk and he had a friend to play with. He treasured people, not things.

So long, Craig. You are gone too soon, but...

I was a former student of Mr Saurman in the 1992-1993 school year at Union High school. He was a very mild mannered man who was easy to get along with. I'm glad to have known him and his memory remains. My comfort for your loss to all family and friends.
