It is with great sadness and shock that we read about Craig’s passing. Craig was my friend and work partner for a time until he moved on to other adventures. Craig was easy going and ready both on the clock and off, turning a wrench or pounding out a groove on the drums. I remember him fondly. Sonia and Sasha, we are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Our most sincere condolences to you Sonia, Sasha and your family and friends. Craig will always be remembered. Our thoughts are with you during this most difficult time. Sandy and Shawn Bamford

My sincere and deepest sympathies to you , Sasha and family. I never heard Craig say an unkind word about anyone. He had such a warm and beautiful spirit. He will be missed terribly.
We are shocked and saddened to hear of Craig’s passing. Craig and I worked together at Shaw as construction partners where I got to know Craig quite well.. Craig shared how he met Sonia, the love of his life overseas, and his adoration for his daughter Sasha., about his favorite band Led Zepplin and his love of Scuba diving. Our sincere condolences to you Sonia, Sasha and family.
