I am so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Uncle Craigs willingness to help teach me how to fix whatever car I had (he even tried to get me matching overalls!) and the way his eyes would sparkle with mischief when he told stories from childhood.
I am so thankful to have so many wonderful memories of him, and it will be my honor to share those memories with my children, so that they can know him too.
May your memories provide comfort now and in the days ahead.

Kim, Nathan & Family,
I cannot express how sorry I am. Craig was the little brother I always wanted and he will be deeply missed. I already have so many wonderful memories and going forward...whenever I miss him...I will remember how fortunate I was to have him in my life! Those moments will turn into more memories, that I will hold dear forever! I am here, if you need anything.

I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Craig's passing. I have known Craig for almost 20 years and enjoyed working with him. He always had a smile on his face and was very helpful with anything someone needed. When I got moved to Park Avenue it was nice to see Craig again and know he was there to help or just to chat when he was in my area. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with you.

My heart goes out to the family at this time of loss. I worked with Craig for many years, in fact, we went to high school together so many years ago. I always admired his common sense and even-tempered demeanor. Where ever he was, he always brought a calming, sensical element to everyone. I'm sorry I never got to chat with him again in later years. We always had such nice discussions. Our thoughts are with the family at this time of great loss.
