It was with deep sorrow that we heard that Rod Craig, Executive Director: Community and Adult Services has passed away.

Our thoughts at this time are with his family, friends and colleagues. He was a well liked and respected leader who always strove to provide the best services he could for our communities.

As a Director and former social worker he had an in-depth knowledge and understanding for those working on the frontline. His inclusive style of management, intelligence and wit made him an exceptional manager who will be missed by us all. Cambridgeshire is a poorer place for his passing.

In my dealings with Rod I found him passionate about his work and always strove to get the best for the people of Cambridgeshire. He was respected by all that knew him. His wise words, ideas and support he provided to members was invaluable. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
