Alan aka " Mr. Craig" was one of the most consequential people in thousands of young adults lives. Mr. Craig had a way about him where he saw you, who you were, and what you could become. To the immortal memory of one of the best! We love you Alan. We created the scholarship fund in your honor at MFS to celebrate you and your commitment on the promise of young people. Mike Carter

Mr Craig was a role model, friend, mentor, to me and most every student at MFS he touched. Alan’s memory will live on forever through his wonderful family and friends. Alan embodied the george fox adage that there is God in everyone through the way he treated everyone he met and he assumed the best giving everyone a chance.

We were lucky to be his first full year graduating class when he came to MFS. I was blessed to call him a friend in later years and many things he said to...

I had a wonderful relationship with both Mary and Alan. All 3 of my children went through FA and he had a great relationship with my dad, Floyd and Ginny Lyon. I have many fond memories of the years when he and Mary were good friends. My heartfelt sympathy to you all and big hugs to Mary.

So sorry to hear about Alan's passing. I was lucky to know him and Mary for almost 7 years from their time at CityView. He was so kind and always a pleasure to talk with.

Alan was an important mentor for me in my administrative position at Friends Academy. I valued his counsel and advice as I matured professionally. I will always remember his sense of humor and his constructive honesty. He was a great colleague and he will remain paramount in my memory!
