Craig Stacey Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province on Jan. 24, 2015.
Although Craig's life was much too short, we are comforted by so many memories of good times he shared with family and friends. He enjoyed skiing, hiking, cycling, kayaking and camping and passed on his love of the outdoors as a Leader with 9th Richmond Scouts. He was always willing to lend a hand, volunteering for over 30 years as a leader for the Vancouver Folk Music Festival's Security Team C. He was able to fulfill his love of fixing things in his long and varied career as an aircraft engineer.

Craig was predeceased by his mother, June Stacey, who passed away on the very same day. Craig will be greatly missed by Kate Lekas; the love of his life, their son Jeff, his sister Shelly (Drew), brother Mark (Ellawyn) and father Ed (Glenda), his nephews & niece, extended family in Montreal and Australia, and his many friends and colleagues. A Celebration of Life will be held in early May. Donations in Craig's memory can be made to cancer research, or to Richmond General Hospital, where he received such good care.

I've been away a lot and have just come upon the news that Craig is gone. I'm so very sorry. He was a lovely man, kind and competent as the Security Team C co-leader, and a most interesting and fun person to talk with. I'm sorry that we can't continue the conversation. Sincere condolences to Kate, and I hope the intervening months have softened the loss a little.
