I was privileged to have met Craig through a mutual friend, Susan Forbes. While I did not know Craig well he impressed me as a kind and gentle man, and a very devoted son. I know he will be missed by his parents and his dear friends. Thank you Craig for the opportunity to know you, and spend fun times with you and Susan at Sheas.

I am so saddened by the loss of this dear man. We were just getting to know each other these past few years via Actor's Equity and the Dramatist's Guild. I will always think of him as kind, so intelligent and fun. Good night sweet Prince.
