I am so sorry to hear about Wattie's death. I have only the fondest memories of him, especially at the Burns celebration when the minister suggested a toast to the Queen and Wattie jumped up and said "Queen? What Queen? Scotland hasn't had a Queen since Mary died!" My deepest sympathies to all of his family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

I will miss the great times wi Wattie and Ella, and the friendly arguements wi Wattie. It is a great honor to have somebody as Wattie Craig as your friend, and I am sure he is enjoying it up there and looking out for us. Bless you Ella, John, Angela. Wattie is being remembered in the Masses and prayers. Your friend alway. "Wi ma big Kilmarnock bunnet . . . " Denis Curran

It was my pleasure and my honor taking care of Wally these last few years at Burgess Square. Everyone from administration to housekeeping loved him. I will especially miss his smile, the way he would cup his hand around his mouth and yell down the hall "ELLEN", and the way he would clear his throat, close his eyes and sing "Amazing Grace". It breaks my heart that my buddy is gone, but he will always and forever be remembered. My prayers to Ellen and the family. Love, Kim Bailey

He was a truly special person with a twinkle in his eye and that wicked little grin,especially when he was doing or eating something he wasn't supposed to and trying to hide it from my wee auntie. I spent a whole summer visting with them when I was just a teenager and loved every minute of it with my uncle Wattie,my wee auntie and my big cousin Eileen. I had a great time,lots of laughs and fun times. Love you Always and Forever

My heart is broken with the loss of our beloved Papa and I am so sorry to not be able to make it to say a proper goodbye. I will always have an huge place in my heart for the Papa who sung me to sleep as a child and always had a smile for us. I love you Papa and I will miss you dearly.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Craig Family in their time of grief. At times like these, "God is near to those that are broken at heart."
(Psalm 34:18)
I hope this will bring the family a measure of comfort.
