Craig will be remembered long for his faith in Christ, his love for Royal Rangers, his good sense of humor, quick wit, love for his family and friends, and his winning smile. His family and friends will have much to reflect upon and smile about as time passes. Knowing he's with his Savior cushions the blow of the loss of a husband, father, friend and brother. See you some day in glory, brother.

I have know Craig from the mid 70's, Craig and his wife helped mine family on occassions when time where rough by giving us some care packages of food. My son was in the Royal Ranger and I remeber Craig showing how to skin dead but eatable food, my son enjoyed those occassion. I remember Craig from a Church he and a lot old friends used to attend, and he was a elder and would take his turn giving sermons, he was always on fire for God.. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to have heard about Craig's passing. I have known Craig and MaryJane since 1977 or so. I remember some great times with Craig and MaryJane. I used to belong to Christ Place when the church was in downtown Lincoln. Craig at one time made oragami cranes for the kids. I truly will miss him.
God Bless MaryJane and her family.
