CORNELL, Dr. Craig Ruddell Cornell - DVM '59
January 25, 1936 - May 2, 2023 87 Years Old
It is with great sadness that his family shares the news that Craig Cornell passed away on May 2, 2023.
Craig was the beloved husband of almost 69 years to Beth.
His daughters Kim and Laurie will love and miss him forever. David Chiswell, who he thought of as a son, will miss his friendship and guidance; and his sweet dog Chanel is lost without him.
Craig was the eldest son of the late Al and Betty Cornell, and a brother to Carl and his late wife Joye, Keith and his wife Karen, and an uncle to many nieces and nephews.
He was welcomed by the Long, McDonald and Holtby families who highly respected him.
He and Beth enjoyed fun times spent with their 'forever' friends Noreen (Dick)Taylor, John (Marion) Gillham, Marilyn (Dale) Watts, Bertha (Dr. Jack) Thompson, and Mamie (Dr. Bill) McClintock. Our family's friendships with our long-time neighbours meant a great deal to him.
A special thank you to his health care team for their care and compassion: Dr. Andrew Burke, Dr. Oded Friedman, the amazing Guelph Dialysis Centre nurses, Dr. Carl Mackie, Dr. Julie Chaytor, Guelph General Hospital, Grand River Hospital and St. Mary's General Hospital.
Cremation has taken place and a private interment will occur in Uxbridge, Ontario. Arrangements with Low & Low Funeral Home, Uxbridge, Ontario.
In memory of Craig, a donation to the Uxbridge Hospital Foundation (www.oakvalleyhealth.ca/foundations/), the Farley Foundation (www.farleyfoundation.org) or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
