CRAIG – Neill William, 78, of Brooklyn, Queens County, passed away peacefully in North Queens Nursing Home, Caledonia, on Wednesday, July 13, 2016.
Born in Harvey Station, New Brunswick, he was a son of the late Thomas Kay and Emma (Manzer) Craig.
Upon graduation from Harvey High, Neill worked for the local Bank of Nova Scotia. Most of Neill’s employment was realised in retail with Kmart and Woolco Department Stores in Toronto, Dartmouth and Fredericton. The last 18 years of his working career was at Forest Hill Rehabilitation Centre where he worked as a custodian and handyman.
Neill will be fondly remembered as a man of few words, but a keen and sharp mind and honest to a fault.
Surviving are his wife Sylvia (Gardner); his step daughter Mary Ann (John) Sutherland of Hoschton, Ga.; his step son Harry (Gerene) Eisenhauer of Richibucto, NB. His step grandchildren Uriah, Arrel and Jayde Chanda as well as a number of nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his brothers Avens, Murray and Raymond.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. A private family graveside memorial will be held at a later date in the Old Greenfield Cemetery. Reverend Dr. Steven Hopper officiating. No flowers by request, donations may be made to Alzheimer’s Society of Nova Scotia or the Brooklyn Baptist Church. Online condolences may be made to www.chandlersfuneral.com

    Sylvia, condolences to you and Harry and Mary Ann. There’s so much I’d like to say, as Neill and I had a very long and special relationship. Among many adventures, he taught me to drive a standard, and his car became my 1st car. I was fortunate to be at UNB early in your journey with Neill, and it was clear how great you two were together, and I have fond memories of spending time with all of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as we too mourn the passing of my “Uncle Neill”. Andy Craig

    Dear Sylvia:
    I am so sorry for your loss. Neill was a great friend. He had a wave and a smile for everyone who knew him. When Mrs. MacLean died I hadn’t seen you or Neill for a long while and was surprised when you told me about his disease. After that we kept bumping into each other. I know how much you loved him and it is going to be a difficult road ahead. If you need anything or want someone to talk to, please give me a call.
    Hugs,
    Eleanor and Sherman Roberts
