JOHN ANTHONY CRAIG It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of John Craig on Thursday, April 16, 2009, at the Grace Hospital at the age of 59 years. Remaining to forever cherish John's memory are his loving wife Eileen; children, Damian Magee (Simone), Caroline Glowatski (Calvin); grandchildren, Kiera and Quinn Glowatski, Lizann and Annika Magee; brothers and sisters in Northern Ireland, Eire, England and Jersey. He was predeceased by his parents, William and Bridget Craig and sister Anne. John was born in Northern Ireland and immigrated to Canada in 1977. He was known for his masonry skills. John was active in the church community and his grandchildren were his pride and joy. Prayers will be held on Monday, April 20, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the St. Charles Roman Catholic Church, 320 St. Charles Street. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. also in the church, with Rev. Fr. Terance McGrath, presiding. Interment will follow. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Boniface CancerCare and all the doctors and staff of Ward 4 at Grace Hospital for their care and compassion during this difficult time. We would also like to thank our friends and neighbours for their support and prayers over the past few weeks. A special thank you to his friend Fr. McGrath. If friends desire, donations in John's name may be made to the St. Charles Church, proceeds to go to Fr. Desmond Mission Peru.
