Ralph Hayward Craig
1941-2018
The peaceful passing of Ralph Craig, husband of the late
Barbara Anne (Tippett) Craig, occurred on Sunday, February 4, 2018 at
Bobby’s Hospice. Born November 8, 1941 in Saint John, he was
a son of the late Ralph Daniel and Louise Bertha (Hanson)
Craig.
Ralph coached the Alpines in the Moosehead Oldtimers Hockey
League from 1984 to present. He was a man of many talents, and was a
self-employed handyman before and after his work at Saint John
Shipbuilding. He could fix absolutely anything, and the words
« I can’t » did not exist in his vocabulary,
as there was no challenge too big. He was proud to be called
« Papa » by many, and was an avid pet lover who will
be missed by his shih tzu, Nelson.
Ralph will be lovingly remembered by his children: Shawn
(Jennifer), Julie-Anne MacFarlane, Danny, and Tara Crossman (Carl);
grandchildren: Codi, Katherine, Courtney, Daniel, Emily, Charlotte,
Jacob, Meghan, Austin, Wyatt, Olivia, and Barbara; sisters: Marie
McKelvie and Anne Reynolds; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Besides his parents and his wife, Barbara, he was predeceased by his
two brothers and his sister.
Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row,
Saint John (634-7424), with visiting on Thursday,
February 8, 2018 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 pm. A funeral service will be
held on Friday, February 9, 2018 at 2 pm from Brenan’s
Funeral Home Chapel. Remembrances made to Bobby’s Hospice
would be appreciated by his family. www.brenansfh.com.
