Papa bear, you will always be in my heart. Thank you for being apart of my life. I love you always.

Mon cher Craiger,

I will never forget how much fun we've had together, you taking me accross Alberta with your camera, making me laugh no matter how intense the job was or how crazy the deadlines were. You'll always be in my heart. See you over there for one of these great laugh.
Ne sois pas trop sage, où que tu sois.

Craig,
I will always remember your huge heart and carefree laugh, your excitement as you purchased the latest computer or software or upgrade.  The joy you found in talking about your kids.  You will be missed.
Carrie Madu

I can't ever remember a bad day working with Craig, and there had to be at least 15 years of them.  We enjoyed fishing trips together and bike trips in B.C. and many hours driving around 
Alberta together for CBC.  I will always remember Craig.  Rest easy big guy.

Open, honest and interesting, nice guy.
Always enjoyed his company.

December 15,2013
I met Craig at U of C residence( 3rd floor men's)and we used to party together and then hooked up again as friends when he lived in Edmonton. He was always smiling and being sweet and a good guy.  I will really miss him and  so will many others. It is sad that he is gone from us.

Craig kindled many connections with his easy laughter, genuine love for life and various interests -- from charming the Safeway checkout gals, learning to play his guitars, video gaming  -- to an ongoing lofty appreciation for arts and culture. Craig was a good friend. My heart goes out to his family and other friends who held him close.  His was a life filled with adventure.  I am filled with gratitude to have known Craig McLeod and I know that his memory will live on in my heart.

We'll treasure the memories of the big guy with the big heart who lived life large. 
Craig served his friends and family, including his union brothers and sisters well. 
Rest in peace big guy.

Dear Craiger, you were a very gentle warrior, rest in peace at last. My son Neil and I will always remember being with you that night in Edmonton when we all enjoyed the Rolling Stones but you changed our lives that weekend when you introduced us to something called the world wide web and the 'information highway' (mine is still a gravel road). I offer my condolences to your children and my amends to you. Glad to have shared your first view of a palm tree and I thank you for so proudly showing me your Edmonton river valley. Memories of you and your humor are a treasure - look out heaven, here comes a blue bomber! Dawn Swain (Calgary, AB)

My long time friend and first love. . . I will miss you.

Dear Craigers, you were such a gentle warrior..may you Rest in Peace at last. Mick Jagger may have been on the stage that night in Edmonton, but to my son and I, you were our shining star. We stayed at your home and you introduced us to something called the Word Wide Web and the Information Highway -  saywhat? (Im still on the GRAVEL ROAD) however, I am so glad that I was with you when you viewed your first palm tree. I offer my condolences to your family, my amends and a warning to heaven - here comes a blue bomber...WATCH OUT and get ready to laugh. So long, pal.

Dear Craigers, you were a very gentle Warrior - may you rest in peace at last. Mick Jagger may have been on the stage in Edmonton, but my son and I will always remember who was the real star that evening with you. We both recall the day you introduced us to something called 'the world wide web and the information highway' (mine is still a 'gravel road') However, I am so glad I was with you when you viewed your first palm tree. I send my condolences to your children and offer my prayers of amends to you if I offended. Look out heaven.... here comes a blue bomber!

Craig, you were more than a collegue you were like a brother to me, and the good times we shared together will not soon be forgotten. RIP my friend.

Craig,
I will always remember your huge heart and carefree laugh, your excitement as you purchased the latest computer or software or upgrade

Sincere condolences on the loss of Craig. I worked with Craig for many years at CBC Edmonton, and he was a terrific guy. I also appreciated his service on others behalf, as part of the union executive, and we walked the picket line together, too. He is sadly missed by the CBC group already.

Craiger and I helped to keep each other sane an those many road trips. Sitting up late with a bottle of scotch. Solving the problems of the world. 
We hadn't lived in the same province for over 30 years but some how we always managed to keep in touch.
So many people have said, "Craiger was one of the good guys." I couldn't agree more.
I miss him

Craig will be missed by many. Please let us know what will be done to celebrate his life.
