A sequel stands beyond,
Invisible as music,
But positive as sound.

Elin Steele So sorry for all the family. Mr.Cranston was such a warm, gentle and accepting man, both interested and interesting. He had a unique and humourous “take” on people and events which we all appreciated so much and will be missed. I am so very grateful to Peter and Madeleine Cranston for raising such a wonderful family, my cherished friends. Love always Elin

John and Johanna Belton Though we didn’t spend much time together, cousin Pete was a great
inspiration and gave me the drive to do what he did. I thought of him the day I checked out in the F-86 and I was always proud to tell the Canadian
pilots I met, and flew with, that Pete Cranston was my cousin, and I was
amazed at how many knew him and had flown with him.
Joanne and I cherish the memory of being with Pete at the Kirkwood
reunion in 1994 at Niagara Falls and we offer our deepest sympathy to
Madeleine and his family.

Carolyn Fysh Although I’ve sent a note in the mail, I wanted to pass along my condolences while all the family is together. I am thinking about each and every one of you and am sending all my love.
