May God bless Craig and his family. He was such a kind person, and a wonderful professional. He helped my family in the midst of a very difficult situation. I had just spoken to him days before, and we shared a brief, sincere conversation. I'm very grateful for that, and for all he did. I'll never forget Craig.

I'm so sorry to hear about Craig. He was such a great guy. Always so friendly and talkative when my husband and I would get our glasses. He always remembered us and conversations we had during previous visits. He will be missed

I had the privilege to be a customer of Craig’s for about 15 years.Each time I came in, we would have a great time joking and just catching up with world events or life’s up and downs. He was fun and warm loving person. “ All around good egg”
You will be missed my friend.

My family is so upset at this very sad loss Craig was a wonderful man and friends with my father Flip Ranoia for over 30 years my name is Andrea Greco my husband is Rich my husband worked for Craig’s before we are married over 25 years ago. My father considered Craig a dear friend my Mother Toni well. My brother Anthony also worked for Craig over 25 years ago and considered him to be one of the best bosses he ever had. Craig attended both weddings my brothers and my owe. I have wonderful and fond memories of Craig. He was the finest of men the classiest of people and had the most beautiful of hearts. My family will always have wonderful memories of him and on behalf of my family and myself I wish to pay our respects and deepest condolences to all his family friends and loved ones and let them know that they will all continue to remain in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time and in their healing process.

I lived next door to Craig and his family on Tulpehocken St. In Philadelphia. He was a childhood best friend with my brother David while we lived next door to each other. I remember Craig as a really nice boy. My brother was so happy to reconnect after many years. A few years ago an off chance meeting with Craig and one of my friends brought them to be in touch. My brother and his wife met with Craig and Lori in Pennsylvania on a visit back east a few years ago. My sincere condolences to the family. I added a photo from around 1957 on our back steps. My brother David is the boy on the left with someone in between he and Craig.

I’ve only met Craig once and it was a sad occasion the funeral of Lori’s mother. I knew instantly what a great man he was, because, I knew what a great brother-in-law he was to my brother Jeffrey and his wife Janet Lori’s sister. Deepest condolences to Lori, and Craigs children Mandy and Zach. Craig was also a devoted step father to Craig and Stacey and grandfather to their children. He will always be loved and missed.
