I still think about Craig and miss his true friendship that we both shared since kindergarten. It is hard to think it has been a year, since his passing. I am grateful that he was a friend of mine.

I first met Craig in Kindergarden and we then became friends.During our College years, we became very close and remained so up until his passing. I will miss our numerous phone chats, which were kept up on a weekly basis. Bit, most of all, I will miss Craig, the man

Our families were next-door neighbors from 1950-1957. Craig and I met when we were four years old in Upper Arlington and pretty much grew up together, went to elementary school as classmates, fought the Battle of the Alamo at least a hundred times against Santa Anna in our back yards (part of his family were from Texas,) went through the "whole nine yards" in Boy Scouting (Eagle and the Order of the Arrow,)and then on to our teen years when we "yearned" for the lovely young ladies of Arlington and Columbus.
Years later, after college, Craig volunteered for combat duty in Vietnam and, as we say in the South, "He did the family proud." He spent the rest of his professional life practicing the healing arts and sharing "his gifts" with his patients and his life with his beloved Cathy.
Ask anyone who knew him well about those God-given gifts . . . an amazing human being who inspired us all.
Well-done, good and faithful servant....and Godspeed, old friend.

Echoing the thoughts of Steve and Marcia Wunsch, Craig was a man of towering intellect and a big heart who was unfailingly supportive and loyal to his wife and friends. He will be greatly missed and our fond memories of his indomitable spirit will live on forever.

We'll miss Craig forever, a great and loving man of dazzling brilliance who lifted the spirits of all who knew him. From four wonderful years in Princeton dorms through his unstinting and always-helpful advice for our children and grandchildren, the one thing we all know is, there will never be another Craig. Rest in peace, dear friend.
