Condolences & Memories (86 entries)

• I think like many people, who were fortunate enough to have Dr. Hildahl as their doctor, like I've lost a best friend. A person who cared and listened, that was always there for me. Dr. Hidahl was my doctor for over 30 years. Longer in my own mind as I am only learning of his passing now. Deepest regards to his family and friends and his patients. He was loved and respected, and he will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Donna Sawatzky (Patient) on: Jul 22, 2019

• Craig was my family doctor from when he had his office on St. Mary's Rd. 1n 1976, till when I left Canada in 1990. After spending my professional career overseas for so many years, I am returning to Canada, and was hoping to meet up with Craig again. I am saddened to hear of his passing, and would like you to know that of all the doctors I have met, no one came close to matching skills or that sense of humanity he had. May God bless his soul. - Posted by: Laurence William Cyr (Former patient) on: Jul 10, 2018

• Dear Wendy and family, I am so, so sorry to hear about Craig's death. He was such a wonderful guy - truly a friend to all!

Praying for you! - Posted by: Susan (Bowman) Canham (Classmate, U of M, MD Class of 1978) on: Aug 19, 2014

• My deepest sympathy and condolences goes out to the Hildahl family. My heart is filled with such regret upon receiving the news of Dr. Hildahl's passing. Dr. Hildahl has been my family's doctor since I was 12 years old. My family adored him and have nothing to say but good things about this man. We knew him as a kind, big-hearted person who cared a lot about his patients and their well being, more than any other doctor I've encountered. He was a great role model and was the kind of person the world needed more of. Throughout the years he made visiting the doctor's clinic a pleasant experience. He even continued to give me lollipops knowing I was old enough to not receive them anymore. I truly thank him for being the great doctor he was and for showing my family great care and concern for our well-being. It was a blessing and privilege for my family to have met this amazing doctor and it saddens us that he has passed away too soon. God has taken him to a better place where I know he will continue to watch over his family, friends, and patients. We will forever miss him. - Posted by: Mariam Seradilla (Patient) on: Mar 12, 2014

• Very sad to learn about the death of a great man and a great human being at such a young age. He had so much more to give to society. I started seeing Dr. Hildahl in about 1995. He was taking care of not only my physical illness but used to counsel on overall welfare of the family as well. He was quite unique. He was thorough and went out of his way to help. Once or twice I got phone calls from him about my test results. He was so caring. Soon my sons and other relatives became his patients. He not only treated my sons, he encouraged them in their respective career choices. He was a rare doctor and a very rare human being. We will miss Dr. Hildahl greatly. - Posted by: Kazi Shamsuzzaman, Shahina Shamsuzzaman (Patient (Kazi)) on: Feb 10, 2014

• My heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family Wendy. I first met Dr. H. at Grand Beach medical centre in summer of 1980 for an infection of an accident laceration. Little did he or I know that this would lead to a lifelong personal journey as from that point I was blessed with Dr. H.'s God given talents. Thank you for supporting his life and that of your children. May God bless you in every way, every day, by His way. - Posted by: Barry Kibsey (patient/friend) on: Feb 09, 2014

Please accept this small token of our sympathy. - Posted by: Wayne & Gwen Shorten (Wayne's Doctor) on: Feb 09, 2014

• Dr. Hildahl was my Dr. and I was so shocked when I heard of his passing. I am now in PS for the Winter and was looking forward to seeing him in the Spring and unfortunetaly it's not going to happen. Had we been there, my wife and I would certainly be attending his funeral. He was the most caring and personable person you could find - felt that you were the only patient he had. He certainly had that charisma and a personality that one wished that we could all possess. What a great person he was and no doubt is leaving a legacy to his family. Our sympathies to his wife and family and we are all part of this family too amd grievning with you. He will be missed by all who had the priviledge to have known this wonderful beautiful human being - as close as one can get to being a God or an angel. - Posted by: curtis wold (patient) on: Feb 08, 2014

• Dear Wendy and family. On behalf of our family we wish to express our sorrow for your loss. Over the years we have appreciated your family and the great friendship Christine and Kristen have. All our kids were the same age and we were surprised to find that Craig's month and year of birth are the same as John's. Craig was a wonderful person and John enjoyed working with him in hockey and the other times they saw each other. Vera enjoyed her association with your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We were very impressed with the wonderful feelings expressed today in the service. We wish you all the best.

• Our sincere sympathy to the Hildahl family. Dr. Hildahl was our physician for 32+ years. He was the most incredible human being we know - brilliant, kind, gentle, respectable, and you always had the feeling that family & friends were the most important things in his life. To his patients he always made you feel better, no matter what your medical challenge was, just by being in his presence. He made you feel safe and greatly cared for. He knew all the best specialists to refer you to. There will never be another like him. Now, in our golden years I wonder what's to become of us without his care. This is such a huge loss of a wonderful human being and a doctor who will never be forgotten by his grateful patients. God Bless, rest in peace Doctor Craig.

Our family have been his patients since he took over Dr. Singer's practice when he retired. In addition we lived in the same neighborhood.

Our thoughts are with his family. - Posted by: John and Vivian Sandberg (Neighbors and long time patients (35 + years)) on: Feb 06, 2014

• I am so sad to hear of the passing of my Doctor. I was always hoping he would return to work. I have been worried about him for several years now. I am sure that all of his patients worried about him. When you have a special Doctor, like Dr. Hildahl, you feel very lucky. I too have been unwell for several years and I had a worsening of my illness when he was off in 2008. I could barely hang on, until my Dr. returned in June of that year. Well, he listened, he believed and he got right on it. That's what he did. He indeed went above and beyond for me and many others. I will miss him. Condolances to his Family.

After he found out I was an Engineer, my general check-ups invariably incorporated discussion of some new technology he was interested in.

Makes you wonder about life in general, and is a constant reminder to us that we should stop and "smell the roses".

• My sincerest condolences to you, Wendy, your family and all the members of the Hildahl family. I must say that the personal qualities of compassion, caring, and the ability to connect with people on a personal level were evident when Craig was a young man growing up in Fort Richmond/Fort Garry. From the messages from his patients, and friends, these qualities along with his medical skills and abilities helped him become respected and loved as a dad, husband, doctor, and friend. May the many fond memories of the times shared with Craig help to comfort in your grief. God Bless. - Posted by: Duncan Michie ((Friend fro long ago)) on: Feb 02, 2014

• I never read the obits and was completely and utterly shocked to see his today. I had just been thinking this past week that I should stop by the office to see if he was back at work. He was such a wonderful doctor and I don't know how I will find another doctor. You knew he was well loved and respected by his patients when comments posted (doctor reviews) would 99% of the time say he was worth waiting 1-2 hours past scheduled appt. times. He took the time to know his patients. Rest in peace Dr Hildahl and my condolences to his family. - Posted by: Kathryn Huberdeau (Patient) on: Feb 02, 2014

He always took the time to offer advice whether dealing with physical issues or emotional issues. I feel we are not only losing a very special physician but a caring friend.

• Great and worthy son of a great and worthy father. - Posted by: M. R. Parameswaran (Patient and admirer) on: Feb 01, 2014

• When I first moved to Winnipeg in 1981, Craig was suggested to me by an intern at the Victoria emergency when I went thee suffering from the flu. I was impressed at our first meeting, not simply by his thoroughness as a professional, but by his caring attitude that went beyond the simply physical. One of the few medical professionals who truly understood and practiced a holistic approach to wellness. Over the years, I felt I came to know him quite well and I will certainly miss that relationship as well. I have always thought of him as an excellent example of my ideal for the profession, and I sense, from having had brief encounters with them, that his caring attitude and professional approach will be carried forward by his children. I could continue on for pages, but no matter how many words I write, my sense of the loss those close to him must feel would still remain unexpressed. - Posted by: Greg Saar (Patient/Friend) on: Feb 01, 2014

He will be missed incredibly by many many friends, staff and patients. Prayers for his Family. Rest easy Dr. Hildahl, and thank you. - Posted by: C. Chapman (decades long patient) on: Feb 01, 2014

• My deepest regret, sympathy and condolences to Craig's wife and children, brothers - family and friends and those other patients. I went to see you Doc on Friday as soon as I knew you were there. I asked for you and was told you had passed. I am deeply saddened. I remember last time I saw you and I asked what would I do without you? I was somewhat worried. You have meant so much to me throughout the past 40 years or so. Since I was seventeen when I first met you. You were always so kind, considerate and respectful and intelligent! Inspiring. I thanked you for all you did and do for me... you are a truly beautiful human being. I thank your family for sharing you for so many years. A loving friend so proud to have known you - I will miss you. - Posted by: Jim La Vallee (friend, patient,) on: Feb 01, 2014
