I've just gotten to know Craig well the past few months working side by side with him in maintenance at the GH, I'm so deeply saddened by his loss, I feel as though i've lost a brother. I will never be able to replace him with a co-worker so easy to work with, fun, quiet. He's also lots like me, loves to build, loves his job, loves to learn, loves the people around him, wants the best for everyone, what i can't or didn't have time to do he did and vice-versa. Hugs and prayers to you Teri and the Wittrock family , friends and co-workers. Be proud of all the time and memories you made while Craig was with you.

Craig and I BBQing together at the park.

The best of friends and men,
That is how I will always remember Craig. He and I argued and disagreed a lot but no matter what we always ended up being side by side. He saved my life multiple times by getting me off the paths I was headed down and I loved him like a brother for it. His sense of humor, loyalty, and love will be missed. I just hope I can be the person and friend he deserved and wanted me to be. My heart and soul hurts for this loss to the Wittrocks and family. He was the best of men and will be missed. May God be with you all and welcome Craig with open arms.
