My father Pabby and I worked on an album "Golden Days" with Craig 40 years ago in Oakville! Professional, talented. Wonderful times. Thanks for all the hard work and kind comments. We remember most, his boundless joy of Nancy Jane and Adam. God Bless his family.

I remember Craig as a great person, a kind and gentle person and a very good musician. I learned a lot from Craig and had the pleasure of playing in the Strawberry Fair along side of him.I am so glad that we were able to have a band reunion 9 years ago. Just like old times. You will be missed.

I am so shocked at this news. We were best friends. We live on Denham Road and remember most was going to the cottage in Lake Kennisis with the family. Our heart filled condolences go to Nancy, Adam and the family.

Craig was a fine neighbour, whose humour at Hallowe'en, whose jokes about his lawn, and whose kindness to my sons have not been forgotten on Beech Avenue. My condolences.

I also sang with Craig in the Downwinds and Strawberry Fair in high school, and remember Craig fondly as a good guy, with a sweet smile, and a whole lot of talent. It was wonderful to meet again and sing again at our 40 year reunion a few years back. Sing on, Craig! You are missed!

Craig taught me how to play my first guitar in the summer of 1962. We shared many adventures together at our neighbouring family cottages. He will always be remembered with love and respect.

I remember Craig very well from the early 1970's when he was my piano teacher at the Neveu music centre. I was not very good at the piano but always looked forward to my lesson because of the entertaining way Craig engaged with me. It really was fun. Once Criag retired from Neveu, I was done with lessons. I followed his career and many years later saw him play at a club. Great music. Wonderful man.
