Craig....I will always remember you as the gentle and kind man that you were. I know you are with God and he welcomes a man like you that walked this earth with such integrity and caring.

Although we met Craig through his "profession", we were drawn to him even more because of the "person" he was....kind, honest, intelligent, thoughtful, gentle, trustful, caring and extremely genuine. He embodied everything we cherished in a friend and an advisor.
Our deepest sympathy and thoughts go out to Lorraine and their two daughters Caitlin and Cassandra and to all of Craig's relatives, co-workers and friends.
We will miss Craig dearly and will always remember Craig in our hearts.
