CRAIG HLADUN

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

• I am fortunate to have counted Craig amongst those people in my life with whom I could pick up where we left off no matter how much time had passed. We were schoolmates at Robertson, Andrew Mynarski, and Sisler and after graduating university, found ourselves teaching at Ecole Lansdowne. I will remember the care and compassion Craig showed to students and colleagues and his sense of humour that could surface at anytime. He once had me in stitches while I was at the piano accompanying the choir at the local mall. He was a welcome, albeit distracting page-turner. And oh, how I enjoyed how much he loved to sing along. Peter and I extend our deepest condolences to Craig’s family. Craig will be deeply missed. - Posted by: Karen Krasny (Peabody) (Friend and colleague ) on: Aug 16, 2022

• Craig loved his teaching profession and working with the children. He always made everyone laugh. He truly cared about everyone and would always be there if you needed anything. I will always remember his yearly favourite song that he would sing with his young students, Je suis une pizza. You will be missed, Craig. - Posted by: Manuel Silva (Former colleague) on: Aug 15, 2022

• Craig made me feel welcome the first time I set foot at École Lansdowne. His friendly manner and helpful nature were much appreciated. From lending a sympathetic ear to seeking advice on a variety of decisions he was considering, Craig was not easy to forget. He enjoyed a good laugh and made sure we didn't take ourselves too seriously. Whether teaching his students a new song or offering a ride to someone whose car wouldn't start, Craig derived great pleasure from helping others. I will miss his unique personality and sense of humor. - Posted by: Donald Teel (Former colleague) on: Aug 13, 2022
