Marigold and family,

I wanted to express my sadness at Peter's death, even though my message is very belated. Although it is forty years since I spent time with your wonderful family, I still think of those times in Cambridge with great affection. It is a pity that I was too young to appreciate the full richness of Peter's character.

Dear Marigold, Fiona, Alina, Alastair and family.
We were very saddened to hear of Peter's passing. Jane and I remember Peter and your family with the greatest affection from our time in Saskatoon whilst at WCVM in the late '70s.   I worked as a surgery resident and hence spent a lot of time with Peter and remember him as a veterinarian/professor with a true sense of commitment to teaching and the welfare of all who worked with him . He was always one who championed the cause for common sense! 
We remember helping build your house and will never forget the hospitality you  showed to us when we arrived from Australia with a little newborn in tow. Peter was instrumental in showing us the ropes in the Saskatchewan outdoors so that we not only had a great time, skiing and canoeing but also survived a few winters. Over the years we have been lucky enough to see you and Peter in Sydney a number of times and we always looked forward to spending time with you . Jane and I will always remember Peter as a great veterinarian , a true humanitarian , a nature lover and wonderful family man.
Our thoughts are with you all.

Marigold and family. I learned of Peter's death on Saturday at a function here in Calgary when Alastair told me. The family will be feeling a mixture of sadness and relief as a  caringt, adventurous father and husband depart. Marigold, a chapter has ended but still many good adventures to experience. Keep reading.

The service was perfect,the numbers showed how much Peter was loved.
May you cherish wonderful memories,that in time shall be golden.
Peter had a smile that one shall not forget.With much love,Marilyn& Michael.

Marigold, I will miss the four of us having "lunches" together. My forever memory of Peter will be when I first talked to him alone. He told me how to deliver a calf. Whether I understood or not is inconsequential, what was important was that he looked me right in the eye, smiled and told me that he knew that I could do it.

Dear Marigold and family,
I first met Peter as an intern at the U of S in 1979-80. I had the good fortune to be invited to your home for a get together to meet you as well.  We have great memories of Peter as a caring anesthesiologist and mentor to faculty and students at the U of S.  We mourn his passing with you and offer our deepest sympathies.  Joanne and Klaas

Dear Marigold and family - I wish you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to hold in your heart forever.  My sincerest condolences.....Gail Kocur

Dear Marigold and Family,
I got to know Peter through our mutual involvement with the Saskatoon Zoo Society. Peter was a big part of the Society's early development. I enjoyed his sense of humour, his intelligence and his warmth and compassion. One memory that always brings a smile to my face is the night he hosted a Society board meeting at your home on Winmill Road. Peter chuckled at our surprise as the goats ambled up and settled on the deck outside the living room window to enjoy the evening sun (and possibly the wonderful prairie view). 
He was a wonderful human being and will be missed.
Lesley Avant

Marigold, I send my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Peter was a wonderful man and will be missed by many...I will not be able to be with you at the service today, but I will have you in my heart and in my thoughts....Gerarda

Peter was a highly respected professional.

Dear Marigold and Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Peter was an amazing man and a wonderful mentor. He took a personal interest in the education of his students and took great care in teaching us the art of veterinary medicine. He did this with a smile in his face and his sense of humour would brighten up the day. He was a wonderful person who lives on in many happy memories

A most likeable colleague, for whom I had the greatest respect.

I had many inspiring professors at WCVM. I'm proud to say he was definitely one of my favourites. I told Fiona that on several occasions. His contribution to the students was monumental. My condolences go out to Fiona and her family.

Many fond memories of his sabbatical in Cambridge UK when I was a student. He was a great teacher and fun to work with. He will not be forgotten!
My condolences to all the family.

Marigold we were very sorry to see your sad news. We know you have many happy memories. 
Gordon and Mary- Jane Johnson

Dear Fiona and family, My sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father.  I enjoyed having Peter as my professor at the WCVM. He was an inspiring leader and a good person.  My thoughts are with you at this time.

Peter was bright light in what I like to believe was the golden age of veterinary medicine. His abilities in veterinary anaesthesia, as a teacher, and most importantly as a warm, giving human being will be remembered by all his students and colleagues including me.   
    Thank you Peter.    Kim L Ward.

Peter was such an inspiration as an instructor, veterinarian and wonderful human being. My thoughts are with the family as you think of the wonderful life he lived and the joy he gave to many people.

Dear Fiona and family,
Heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your father, who I met perhaps only once or twice but who was obviously a memorable man of tremendous talent and passion. With sincerest condolences, Karen (Wheler) Goa, Auckland, New Zealand

Dr Cribb was one of my favorite profs in vet school. His sense of humor will always be fondly remembered.  To the his family, know that he was valued and admired by those whose lives he touched.

Marigold & family; 
Gail & I were very saddened to hear of Peter's passing. We send you our sincere sympathy.

To the Cribb Family:  It was with great sadness that I noted the passing of Dr. Peter Cribb.  Dr. Cribb was one of my teachers when I attended the WCVM (graduating class of 1976), and it was my interaction with Dr. Cribb that inspired me in later years to go on and study Veterinary Anesthesia and Critical Care at UCDavis, and ultimately to become a diplomate in the ACVAA.  I am truly sorry for your loss.  Dr. Cribb was a great teacher and a credit to his profession and specialty.  He will be missed by his colleagues and the other members of the ACVAA.

My sincere condolences on Peter's passing.  I will always remember his sense of humour.

Marigold,
  Our sincere sympathy to you and your family. Peter was a wonderful colleague and friend.

I knew Peter mainly as an anesthesiologist at the WCVM. I remember his sense of humor and his expertise. My sincere condolences to all the family in this difficult time.

Marigold,Fiona, Alastair and Emily:
It was only a few days ago that I saw Alastair for a moment at a banquet.We agreed to meet later but that did not happen.
It was my intention to update our respective paths, and in so doing , catch up on 'the parents'.
As a result, the news to-day is a bit of a shock!
Having been close colleagues at the WCVM, we have tried to keep up with the faculty of by-gone days but did lose track of you for some time now!
Jean and I send our condolences, Marigold, and trust that you will find comfort and support from your family; in that we have no doubts!
You are in our thoughts and pray that you will find 'peace'.
Jean and Gavin..

To Alastair and family, I am sadden by the news of your loss. I not only found your father one of the most inspirationally intellectual professors at WCVM but, something about that dry humour and devilish grin made the task of learning the art of anaesthesiology enjoyable not to mention instilling knowledge that has lasted me throughout my career.

Marigold, Fiona, Alastair and Emily:
It is with sincere sympathy that Jean and I offer condolences on the passing of your husband and father! 
It is only a few days ago that, in a brief moment at a banquet,  we saw Alastair and planned to visit later in the evening. The crowd dispersed after the event and we did not resume our conversation. I enquired of other guests but did not discover the state of Peter's health at that time. 
I can say that he and I shared many hours together in the surgeries at the College over many years before I left the Clinics for the Dean's office.I found him to be dedicated to his chosen career in the study and practice of anesthesiology and he kept abreast of the current knowledge in his chosen discipline.
Jean and I lost track of him and Marigold since we left Saskatoon some 23 years ago, never-the-less, his departure gives us cause to share your loss and celebrate his memory!
It is our prayer that Marigold ,and her extended family, will find strength and comfort in the knowledge that he is 'at peace'.
Gavin and Jean Hamilton.

Dr. Cribb was a great teacher in anesthesiology and was fun to be around when as a student I assisted with anesthesia.  Dr. Alina Cribb I would like to thank you for your kind handling of my Mom when she saw you as part of the senior assessment team.  I send my condolences to all of your family.

My sincere condolences to Marigold and family on Peter's passing.

I knew Peter as the father of my best childhood friend, Fiona, and later as one of my professors and colleagues at WCVM. A few favourite memories: Peter neutering our cat Chester on top of the washing machine in their basement  my first taste of veterinary medicine! Peter taking Fiona, Penny (a high school friend) and me on my first overnight canoe trip down the South Saskatchewan River; Fiona, Penny and I sneaking off to skinny dip while Peter tended the campfire. Peter generously organizing a 4 day trip to the continent for Fiona and me when I visited them in Cambridge when Peter was on sabbatical. And in vet school, Peter writing BOOM!! in the margins of my first anesthesia exam, when I guessed once a year to his question How often do you grease an anesthetic machine? - a trick question, I think! I have many other fond memories of Peter - his love of animals and the outdoors, his smart-alecky sense of humour, his natural decorum, which he instilled in his children. I feel very fortunate for having known him. My heartfelt sympathy to Marigold, Fiona, Alastair, and Alina.

Marigold, please accept my deepest sympathy and understanding as a fellow traveler along the "Alzheimer caregiver" road. You and your family will carry his outstanding talents, interests, influence and love into the future.

Dr. Cribb was a fantastic teacher and a great person. His sense of humor and way of teaching us all was amazing! I thank him so much for the wonderful experience I had in Vet School in the late 70s.
My condolences.

Marigold and family,
I was so sorry to read about Peter's passing.  Our province was so lucky that you chose us.  The U of S, the arts community and environmental stewards all benefited from the decision you made to move to Saskatchewan. Please know that there are many friends thinking of you.  My deepest sympathy.

My deepest sympathies to all of you.  He had a strong impact on so many of us in shaping who we were as a professional and a person.

Marigold and family - I was saddened to hear about the passing of Peter. He was a wonderful teacher and mentor to me and I will always be grateful for his support and guidance. He will be greatly missed.

Marigold and family so sorry for your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.I will always remember Peter and his smile and will hold his memory close to my heart.Cheryl(caregiver)

My most heartfelt condolences to the family. 
He was my mentor and friend.  On more than one occasion during my days of training he gracefully 'suffered' my indiscretions.  There isn't a day which goes by that I don't feel his influence on my life and practice.

I'm very saddened by the news. Peter was a fantastic mentor. I owe him a great deal and his legacy will live on through the anaesthesia section he started at WCVM. So sorry I will be out of town June 29th.

Peter was a wonderful friend and a great colleague.  He is sorely missed.  John Pharr

So sorry for your loss, I have many great memories of working with Peter and as a young Vet Tech learned so much from him, he was a great teacher Carolyn Cartwright

Dear Alina and family:
My condolences on the loss of your father.  I only met your parents once and thought what a lovely couple they were.  I hope you will be able to draw on the strength of their upbringing and your family in these next days.
