   It is with great sadness that
we share the news, that after a
brief illness, Craig passed away
peacefully at the Regina Gener-
al Hospital.  

   Craig was predeceased by his
father Marcel in January, 2001,
Uncle Robert Smith in 2013 and
Stanley Dolski in January, 2012.

     Survived by his mother Cyn-
thia (nee Candy), his brother
Rodney (John)  and Linda Hen-
derson and their children Curtis,
Steven and Jennifer Raymond,
Chris Henderson (fiancee, Ja-
nelle Howlett),  Joel Henderson and great-niece Madison Ray-
mond,   sister Catherine Flood and her children Patrick and Dy-
lan, long-time girlfriend Patricia Dolski and her family, Aunt
Evelyn Smith, Cousins Nancy, Jeff (Tony), Gene (Cathy) and
their families, Aunt Lorna Rolph, Uncle Rodney Candy (Patricia),
cousins Susan (Peter), Ann (Francis) and their family, Neil (Pau-
line) Candy and numerous other cousins.

     Craig was born and raised in Gainsborough.  He attended
Elementary School in Gainsborough from Gr. 1 to 9, then High
School in Carnduff for grades 10-12.  His education continued
briefly in Brandon for a year.  He then studied Mechanical Engi-
neering Technology in Saskatoon for an additional two years. 
Craig’s working career began with Caprocco Corrosion Preven-
tion for a short time. He then worked for Dome Petroleum, Pro-
ducer’s Pipeline and Enbridge for more than 35 years.  Craig re-
tired Sept. 1, 2014.

        Craig’s interests in school were curling, volleyball, fastball
and swimming.  He continued to enjoy swimming as an adult
and achieved the highest level in Red Cross Training.  He also
enjoyed water skiing.  Other interests were cycling, downhill ski-
ing, tennis, reading and, of course going to the family cabin at
Kenosee Lake.  Craig loved all of the family pet dogs through
the years and thoroughly enjoyed taking the dogs for a walk so
they could take a dip in Kenosee Lake.  Craig took great pleas-
ure in finding shady spots to read, the buffets and the nightly
shows on his winter vacations to warm locations with Patricia. 
He also enjoyed spending many hours bantering with family and
friends, especially challenging a person’s knowledge of a wide
variety of topics.  

   Donations in memory of Craig can be made to the Stollery
Children’s Hospital (online at secure.stollerykids.com),  Moose
