- PARKER, Craig Hyde
Craig Hyde Parker, 54 of Acton, Ontario. Peacefully at home in a room full of love and surrounded by family, January 31, 2007 after a valiant battle with cancer. Loving husband and soulmate of Karen (nee Reczuch). Craig's pride and joy were his children Kyra and Rylan. He will be dearly missed by parents Lewis and Eleanor Parker and his always loving and caring siblings, Christine, Leslie Anne and Matthew. His memory will be treasured by extended family and countless friends. Craig was born in Toronto and was a photographer from early on. He spent many years enjoying the tutelage and friendship of Yuri Dojc, later becoming photographer for the Marcom Group in Mississauga. He valued the many friends he made throughout his career. Craig became a Christian in his 30's and many of his most enduring friendships date from his years at Bloor Street United Church and involvement in study and prayer groups from that time. St. Alban's Anglican Church became his spiritual home in Acton, where he has enjoyed loving support and encouragement. Craig took joy from his community participation through the church and his involvement in Scouting in Acton. The family is very grateful to many healthcare professionals for their exceptional and compassionate care. We wish to especially thank Dr. George McWilliam and the staff at the Acton Medical Centre, Dr. Andrew Bayley, Dr. Paul Zeni and Linda Dougherty and her wonderful North Halton team at Acclaim Health. Craig was, in his quiet and humble way, an exceptional soul. 'Craig was a person everyone just had to love'. The family will receive friends at the MacKinnon Family Funeral Home 'Shoemaker Chapel' 55 Mill Street East, Acton (877-421-9860) on Sunday, February 11th from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The Memorial Service will be held at Trinity United Church, 70 Mill Street East, Acton on Monday, February 12th at two o'clock. The family would appreciate donations to the Princess Margaret Hospital, the Canadian Cancer Society or St. Alban's Anglican Church, Acton.
