Dear Suzie and family,

Just a note to ensure you that I still think of 
Mr. Creelman and I do hope you all are better
 able the function . I lost my Derek April 20 last 
Spring and now know how hard a road this is to walk. 
May peace and some sense of normalcy calm you and
 enfold you in loving memories. I haven't reached any
 of this yet but with help I hope to get there.

I remember meeting Graham and some of his family in Nova Scotia at a family reunion.  We walked to the place where the original Creelman's in Canada were buried.  It was good to connect.

A Saskatoon, Saskatchewan connection is Graham being saved from a cistern in Saskatoon in 1939.  Story made it to the newspaper.

Cherish all the memories.

Sincerely,  your cousin, Gayleen

Graham always cared about how other people lived and when he saw an injustice, he corrected it.  He was a true and valued friend.  Virginia Smereka

We are so sorry for your loss.
Chris and I both remember back to 1967 to 68
Graham from KCSS  when he was our guidance counselor
Five years later we meet up again with Graham at Home Hardware Aurora where he became a friend and regular customer
His son Ian and John my son became friends in school probably 25 or 30 years ago in Aurora
Graham will be missed not only by Chris myself and Bob Clubine who remember him from King City days but all the staff at Aurora HH who got to know Graham 
A pleasure to deal with 
Always patient and kind
He will be missed





Mr. Creelman was my history teacher in 1964/65 when I was in Grade 12 at King City Secondary School.  Also he was my guidance counselor in Grade 13 when I was trying to decide where to go to university. He had graduated from Carleton in Ottawa. I have got to say that school was not on my radar in the beginning but after Mr. Creelman spoke so highly of it, it was where I  went! He even took the time to speak to my Mother about it. When Graham would come many years later to most all of our school reunions, I was thrilled to see him. It was then that I would remind him of how he always let the girls leave the classroom first; teaching the boys some gentlemanly manners. He ran a classroom well with balance and an easy manner. I sure looked forward to his class! I had a wee crush on him I am pretty sure. He was a favourite teacher!  When he didn't attend the Back to the 60's reunion in 2018 for KCSS I was disappointed but I bet not nearly as disappointed as he was. When I called him to tell him about the celebration he was really keen to come! I will miss him. Many of my former classmates will too. My condolences to his family. You guys were lucky to have him as your Dad!!

Graham Creelman was my history teacher at KCCS for my grade 13 year. He was dynamic, engaging and always well informed and prepared. He gave me the history award at the class of 1967 commencement, of which I was extremely honored, given my respect and affection for him. I have the awarded book, with his signature on the first page, in my home bookshelf, moved from my instructional library this past year, when I retired as an American history teacher. 
Mr. Creelman was kind and always encouraging of his female students, a man ahead of his time. I am grateful for his tutelage and the confidence he built in me.
Please accept my condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. He was a lovely, kind spirited teacher who had a profound influence on me. I remember him with warmth and gratitude.

Beside a trusting Business Associate, Graham was a true friend and will be sincerely missed.

Dear Mrs. Creelman, Sharon, Anne, Susan and Ian

I am so sorry to hear Mr. Creelman.  Enjoy and cherish  all your fond memories of a great husband and father. 

Rest in Peace, Mr. Creelman 

Sincerely, 
Bridget Stoecklin
