I knew Craig when we were both grad students in the College of Ag at the UofA. He brought joy to all he met. I most think of him jamming on his mando. Wishing you a Happy Birthday today, my old friend.

I had the opportunity of getting acquainted with Craig during my 10 month stay at ADEQ in Tucson, AZ. He supported me and his good character and humour helped me much during that stay away from my family. My condolences to his wife Jacquie and daughters.

I met and got to know Craig when he was a graduate student at the University of Arizona in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. I was on the faculty at that time and we shared a common interest in the economics and politics of poor developing countries. In 1984 he and Jacquie played our wedding. We saw each other occasionally through the years. We talked about his music and work. I was always happy to see him. I enjoyed his energy and his joy and passion for life. He was a good man, and I will miss him. My sympathies to Jacquie and their family.

I am in prayer for Craig's family and all of the dance and music community in Arizona. I remember Craig's wonderful spirit at dancecamps and events while living in Arizona. It's the memories that are important now....Blessings to you all.

Craig was such a beautiful man and he loved his family very much. The sparkle that couldn't be contained in his eyes when he would talk about his daughters will always be in my memories. We have truly lost a beautiful soul.

Craig was such an inspirational person. He seemed to to so alive and so aware. It was as if he felt things more deeply and saw things more completely than most people. I often had the impression that there was a field of energy around him. His personality, his very essence, glowed brightly. He was literally and figuratively a brilliant person. Losing him is so painful but, perhaps, it will inspire each of us to live more fully, more passionately, more joyfully with immediacy and awareness as a tribute to his memory.

Jacquie: I can think of no words other than the thought that has continually run thru my head these past months: how lucky Craig was to have you and you to have him and the rest of us to have both. That's more than most of us get in a lifetime.
