PARKER, Craig Hyde Craig Hyde Parker, 54 of Acton, Ontario. Peacefully at home in a room full of love and surrounded by family, January 31st, 2007 after a valiant battle with cancer. Loving husband and soulmate of Karen (nee Reczuch). Craig's pride and joy were his children Kyra and Rylan. He will be dearly missed by parents Lewis and Eleanor Parker and his always loving and caring siblings, Christine, Leslie Anne and Matthew. His memory will be treasured by extended family and countless friends. Craig was born in Toronto and was a photographer from early on. He spent many years enjoying the tutelage and friendship of Yuri Dojc, later becoming photographer for the Marcom Group in Mississauga. He valued the many friends he made throughout his career. Craig became a Christian in his 30's and many of his most enduring friendships date from his years at Bloor Street United Church and involvement in study and prayer groups from that time. St. Alban's Anglican Church became his spiritual home in Acton, where he has enjoyed loving support and encouragement. Craig took joy from his community participation through the church and his involvement in Scouting in Acton. The family is very grateful to many healthcare professionals for their exceptional and compassionate care. We wish to especially thank Dr. George McWilliam and the staff at the Acton Medical Centre, Dr. Andrew Bayley, Dr. Paul Zeni and Linda Dougherty and her wonderful North Halton team at Acclaim Health. Craig was, in his quiet and humble way, an exceptional soul. "Craig was a person everyone just had to love".

CUNNEYWORTH, Ronald Henry Victor May 24th, 1929 ­ February 3rd, 2007 Ron passed away peacefully at Peel Memorial Hospital Saturday, February 3rd, age 77. Beloved husband of Mary Angela (Oresky), father of Wayne Edgar, Allan Ronald (Janet Howard) and Robert George (Connie Mitchell), "gramps" to Amanda Rae and Amber-Lea Cunneyworth, and to Samantha and Stephanie Schueler, Ron was pre-deceased by his six siblings: Edna May (Glyndwr Hunt), Edgar John (Doris Hackett), Robert Gordon (Lillian Long), William Percival (Jean Budreau), Margaret Ellen (Arthur Cross) and Allan Thomas (Margaritta Cowley). He is survived by a loving family, good friends and many shared memories. Ron was a unique individual and, it's fair to say, a recognizable product of his working class St. Clair Avenue neighbourhood, both now part of Toronto's history. A butcher all his life, he was employed by Canada Packers from age 15 until his retirement. Old school tough and contrary on the outside, he had love in his heart for those who could see it. He was happiest watching horses at the track, reeling in a fish at the end of his line or re-reading a favourite Louis L'Amour cowboy novel. If he could live his life again, he would live out west. Many thanks to Dr. Clive Wulwik, the staff at Orangeville and Peel Memorial hospitals, his home care givers and all those who offered so much support throughout his life. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held Saturday, February 10th, 2:00 pm, at Acton Baptist Church, 80 Mill Street, East, Acton, Ontario L7J 1H6. Those who knew him will appreciate that he would prefer simplicity and smiles rather than a formal, somber service. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Acton Baptist Church, or to a charity of your choice. "There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning."
