Craig was a special person. He was kind and respectful. He wanted to be helpful to everyone. He helped me with yardwork, decorate for Christmas, and any other tasks I needed help with. He told me how much he cared for his family. He was a friend whom I will miss.

He always teased me in HS..but it was sweet, not mean...but mostly my best memory is when he started coaching me with running..he was in my brother’s class, 2 years older, but he took time 2 talk 2 this Freshman & help her become a better sprinter..we were in the B.I.G. games together & he really took me under his wing...such a kind soul.. RIP Craig

He taught me to be one of the best girl dodge ball players. Taught me not to wimp out. I think his early guidance led me to be the athlete i became. As years passed i accepted him for just being Craig. I will never forget him helping me out with flowers for my wedding. Gave me a huge discount. Mom and dad were not happy and he was in big trouble. Thats who he was always putting everyone first. Rip Craig. Forever in my heart

You were the best of the best Craig! I'm going to miss you so much! I knew there was a reason I was saving your VM messages. I still get to hear your voice! Until we meet again, rest easy my friend! ❤
