Obituary of Craig D. Whyte
Whyte, D. Craig
Passed away peacefully with his family at his bedside at the Perth hospital on Tuesday August 30th, 2011 after a brief but courageous battle with cancer at age 75. Dear and loving father of Joanne (pre-deceased 1973), Jeffrey (Mary Barker-Whyte) and Scott; he will be fondly remembered by their mother Emily Whyte. Cherished and respected grandfather of Courtenay and Spencer Whyte. Loving husband of Jannie (pre-deceased 2006) and stepchildren Ingrid and Don Condie and brother of Mona (Fred) Orok, Ronnie (pre-deceased 2002) (Marlene), Murray and Clarke Whyte and Beverlee Clow. Pre-deceased by his parents David Roy and Willa Agnes Whyte. Craig had a long and successful career in the banking industry and after his retirement found time to be an avid golfer, to watch his grandchildren grow up and to continue with his life-long passion for music by singing in various choirs. Craig was a wonderful father and husband, was always very patient and outgoing, and always put the needs of his family ahead of his own. He will be greatly missed by all of his family.
