It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Craig, Professor, Mathematics & Statistics, one of Canada’s most accomplished and distinguished mathematicians. Craig was recruited to Canada and McMaster University in 2000 as a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Analysis and its Applications. This was the very first appointment through the CRC program in the country. He was a devoted and loving husband to Deirdre Haskell, Mathematics & Statistics and a proud father to Zoe Haskell-Craig. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him as a mathematician, colleague and dear friend. More details about his many accomplishments can be found on the Mathematics & Statistics website.
