Sadly, it is time for us to say good-bye to a dear friend to many of the members of the Colonel John Butler (Niagara) Branch of the UELAC, as well as to many members of other branches, and those at the Dominion level. CJB branch genealogist Rod Craig passed away on Saturday, May 25, 2019. Rod had been a most valued member of the UELAC and our branch for many decades and may have aided more members in verifying their ancestry than any other genealogist in the organization. Rod will be greatly missed by all who knew him - he was an association genealogy legend in his own time. Rod, along with his wife Beverly Craig UE, loved helping members attain their goals of receiving UELAC certificates. His selfless service and dedication will never be forgotten.
