Dear Denise, Nikki, and Justin, I was deeply saddened to read about Craig's passing. He was a real family man who deeply loved and cherished his close knit family. I spent some time last year with Craig and Denise and I was impressed with their love of one another and their shared passion and expertise regarding their beautiful landscaped property. It was so peaceful and relaxing walking through their many gardens. Your whole family made so many wonderful memories together. Hold them close to your heart and cherish them. Sincere condolences to the entire Williams and Bonneau families. Craig Ralph Williams June 6, 1951 - February 7, 2026 "Rest in Peace"
Denise and family Diane and I were shocked and saddened to hear about Craig. You have been such great neighbours ever since you built your home. Craig loved working on his many projects for his beloved Denise. RIP Craig
Craig welcomed us into his home. He shared his stories. He clearly loved kids and valued family. A warm man who shared his passions for hockey and life, without fanfare or seeking a spotlight. He and the ever-present glimmer in his eye will be missed by many. Our sincerest condolences to the entire family and close friends.

Denise and family...so sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I got to know Craig when we worked at United Tire. We had a couple of friendly hockey games between Toronto and Cobourg United Tire.

My condolences to you and your family.
Rest in Peace Craig. I will miss you buddy.
