Craig, James Lewis
Published: 08/27/2005
CRAIG, JAMES LEWIS - passed away on June 13 2005 in Moosomin Union Hospital. He was born April 27, 1961 with Muscular Dystrophy, the youngest and only son of Evelyn and Lewis, originally from Fleming. He never let MD stop him from doing what he really wanted to do in his life. He preferred to try everything and see. Most times he succeeded. He had a normal farmer's son life on the farm. He shot gophers, went skidooing with the dog and drove the tractor for his father. He graduated grade 12 from McNaughton High School and went to university for one year. The one was enough though, he graduated later from Moose Jaw SIAST with a Diploma in Accounting. He had several temporary jobs until he started work for C0-operators insurance head office in Regina. He worked for them for 8 years. In 1995 they moved their head office down east and James was laid-off. At that time he (and his plants) moved to Rocanville to live with his sister Karen. He took over the gardening and looking after the house. He also started making miniature furniture from scratch, on a 1" scale. They are correct to the last detail. James also loved animals. Besides the usual animals found on a farm when he was younger, he fostered a baby black bird one summer in 1996, complete with two hour worm feedings. By the time the bird was full grown, it would sit on the microwave and talk to James as he cooked. It was also trained to take baths in the kitchen sink. When fall came "Birdie" flew south. James then decided he needed a cat. One cat turned into four. They were James's pets. One shook her paw for treats and one brought him all the mice and birds she could find. The boys just looked loveable. The last few years were devoted to the computer age. Once the computer was purchased, James spent most of his time on the machine. He scanned all the family pictures and made a movie for the family. He also loved all card games, computer games, and anything in between. James liked people. People and children also liked James. He had a well developed sense of humor that could make people roll off there chairs. He liked to tease kids and they loved him for it. He had a few adopted nieces and nephews. If there was anything he could do for a friend, he would do it. James lived life to its fullest. He did what he wanted when he wanted. He loved his family and friends. He will be greatly missed. Pre-deceasing James were his parents Lewis and Evelyn. His aunts and uncles Art (Helen) of Delta BC, Allison of Moosomin, Martha (Jack) Arnott of Ceylon SK, Mary (Clem) Battye of Penticton BC, Lorence, Secord and Chester Sheane and Ralph McMullen.
