CRAIG WILLIAM SKIMMING

November 20, 1937 - August 31, 2025

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of a "Loving Father" in Winnipeg, MB. Rest in peace. Love and miss you "Dad".

Private service to be held. Longer obituary and date of funeral to follow.

Thanks to Canada Bread for donation made to Alzheimer Society.

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long

And not with your head bowed low,

Remember the love that we once shared

Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone,

It’s all part of the Master’s Plan

A step on the road to home.

So when you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know,

And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds

Miss me, but let me go.
