The obituary notice of Craig STEPHENSON

Where would I start, I couldn’t imagine such a lovely soul leaving life so fast, a grandad who all of us grandchildren have only known to have such a kind, loving and funny soul, he gave the best bear hugs and was always happy too see everyone, there was never a dull moment with him, grandad always made sure to our everyone before himself and to make sure everyone was on their feet before he was, I hope heaven treats you well and make everyone else as happy up there as you did us, rest easy grandad ❤️

Where do I start with this larger than life man. He was the best friend you could wish for. He supported my parents so much that he became part of our family too. He drank with them, he laughed with them and carried my mum into the caravan when she had fallen. He kept them on their toes with his antics and made them laugh when they didn’t know they needed to. You were a large piece of jigsaw to my family and you will be missed so much. I won’t ever forget the gnome that went on his travels and sent Craig photos of his travels or the time you filled my friend’s handbag with ornaments from the pub. You touched everybodies hearts and left a stamp there that will never erase. Gonna miss you big guy. Grace, Ronnie and Annette

A great loss to all. A kind man with a great sense of humor and wonderful friend.

Not only my boss for 24 years but a friend for 24 years as well. RIP Craig, you’ll be missed. Sending love to Ros and all the family ❤️

Will always be remembered with fondest memories by all his friends at the Rotary Club of Hull Paragon and also at Holdstock Nicholls Train and Harris Lacey and Swain.
Simply a great guy - will be very sadly missed by everyone.
