Craig was my first boss and influential as I began my career in municipal government two decades ago. His compassion, support, and encouragement will always be remembered. My deepest condolences to all of his family as I wish you strength during this difficult time and peace as you hold onto wonderful memories.
Craig was one of the kindest and well meaning person I have ever met. A very spiritual and compassionate man. I have been lucky to have shared life at Holy Trinity and the men’s group with him and will miss him deeply. He will certainly be missed by a large number of people.
My deepest sympathies go out to Mary Jo, Marion and the rest of the family.
My God be with you and I know that he has taken Craig in his hands.
Our thoughts and prayers to Craigs family. HE was a great guy. Weven feel very blessed to have known him

While working at Niagara Region I enjoyed my interactions with Craig. He was always friendly, supportive and professional in his approach. A “ class act “ and true gentleman!

Dear Marion, Mary Jo and sandee,
I am heart-broken to learn of Craig’s passing. We go back a long way – – – to his grade 12 or 13 year at Pelham High School. Teachers are not supposed to have favourites, but Craig with his smile and kind ways was a treasure. He always had a warm greeting for me, all these years, as recently as a couple of weeks ago. Craig leaves a big hole in the lives of his many friends.
Our condolences to the Stirtzinger Family.
Scott has fond memories of Craig; refereeing together for many years in Pelham and most recently playing hockey together on the Sod Buster’s Hockey Team in Wainfleet.
Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed.
