CRAIG, David McLeoad - In his 77th year, David Craig passed away suddenly from a heart attack at his home in Port Hope on October 9, 2018.
Raised in Woodstock, NB, the opening of CJCJ in his final year of high school allowed him to explore what would become life time passions, those of broadcasting and music.
He started as a farm editor, rock and roll DJ, newsman, and yes, swept the floors as well.
Graduating from Ryerson's Radio and Television Arts program, David worked in radio in Smiths Falls, Fredericton, St. John and Sydney and played trumpet and percussion in various militia bands. Radio broadcasting experiences in Sault Ste. Marie, Hamilton and London led him to CFRB in Toronto, where he was heard doing morning news for years.
Lovingly remembered by partner Merrilyn Caldwell and her son Seth, Barb (daughters Jodie and Caleigh), Rayma (sons Randy and Chris), Linda Bartolone-Mio Bertolo and family members out east, in the Toronto area, and out west.
Cremation and private family service.
