Obituary: Colin J. Craig

Colin J. Craig - husband, Dad, chiropodist & podiatrist

On 25th August 2021 Colin Craig, devoted husband, Dad and chiropodist/podiatrist went safely home.

‘Mr Craig’ as his patients referred to him was in private practice in Antrim for over 50 years, having established his surgery in May 1966. He was a much-loved chiropodist/ podiatrist and many of his patients became his friends and then family friends. He was always enthusiastic about chiropody/podiatry and dedicated to the Institute of Chiropodists & Podiatrists undertaking the role of Chairman of the Northern Ireland Branch for many years. He thoroughly enjoyed his working life, only stopping through illness.

My Mum and I were blessed to have the most amazing Dad and husband, who we loved absolutely. He was a character who made everything colourful and lived life to the full, enjoying every minute. He was passionate about Italy, painting, Alfa Romeos and so much more. Life has lost its sparkle without him.

It is with Great sadness we share the news of the death of our esteemed colleague Colin Craig. Colin was a lifelong member of the Northern Ireland Branch of which he dedicated his time serving as chairman on numerous occasions and most recently until his retirement in late 2019.

Colin was always a very funny, positive man. We will miss his humorous stories and will always remember him with fondness.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and daughter.

Rest in peace Colin.
