Liberatore Family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I taught Craig at Alpha

and remember his great sense of humor, his success in academics and sports. He was a joy to teach.

Please know Craig and your family are in my prayers.

To the Liberatores --

I grew up in your neighborhood and remember playing little league baseball one year with Craig -- and being so impressed with how tall he was -- and he was a pretty decent player to boot.

My deepest condolences for your loss.

"Mr. Lib," Cara, Cristi and Jordan:

My heart sank when I heard the news about Craig through a friend this morning. I couldn't agree more with one of the messages here that Craig was a "gentle giant" - that was one of the things I loved about him. I'm lucky to have known him as I did and to have had a relationship with you all. You're all in my thoughts. Sending you hugs from Chandler, AZ. --Stevie

I am very sorry for your loss. I had only brief interactions with Craig in school related meetings, but in those few conversations I grew to know him to be a sensitive and caring soul. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To Jordan Liberatore and Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about your Father. I know what an important part of your life he was. I know we have not been in contact lately, but I want you to know I am here for you if you need me. Hopefully I will hear from you soon. May God give your Father eternal peace. Love, your big sister.

Mr. Liberatore, Cara, and Cristi,

Hopefully you will remember me. Through the passage of time, it is inevitable that you lose contact with many childhood friends. Even though, you were good friends in school, you take different paths, and convince yourself that you will stay in touch. Unfortunately, that rarely happens. It is always in the back of your mind, that you should contact the friend that was so important to you during your formative years. In our busy lives you always think there is more time. Sadly, that is not always the case.

I have many fond memories of Craig and your family; playing basketball and being an altar boy with Craig at Alpha, the hospitality when I stayed at your home, and the memory I will never forget, the 1979 Pirate World Series games, that you graciously took me to. I will always associate that enduring and exhilarating experience with Craig. These and many other memories are permanently etched in my memory.

Regrettably I had not contacted Craig in twenty-six years, but I am heartened that Craig appeared to accomplish so much. I am truly saddened by this news and I hope God will give you solace in your loss.

Cristi, Cara and Mr. Liberatore,

"Life is eternal, love immortal and death only a horizon, and what is a horizon but the limit of our sight?"

May the One who sees past all horizons comfort you during this time.

With deepest sympathy,

Somebody once said that "tears are for the living." Craig is at peace now.

We shed our tears for you and your family and if there is anything we can do to help you through this period, we are here.
