As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
Memories are all that we are left with, as long as memories remain the person is still alive.

A brilliant mind and quick wit. He introduced me to P.G. Wodehouse and did a spot-on impression of Rodney Dangerfield.

What wonderful memories I have of Craig. As cousins growing up just two hours away we spent many family gatherings together. Whether they were family reunions, anniversarys, birthdays etc I always remember Craigs passion for politics and history. What great comfort it provides knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be the family.
