Deepest sympathy to your family on behalf of the entire Duquesne Law School class of 1993, as Craig had good relationships with many of us.

Gayle,

Your are in our Prayers. I am so happy I was able to sit and talk with Craig last November he had not changed in the 40+ years that I have known him. I was one of 4 girls on 30th street with all the boys (my brothers). I will hold the memories of Craig and Brian forever.

Gayle,

We love you so much. Melvin and his friends have been getting together and calling each other to reminisce about your brother. His life meant much and had an impact that will not be forgotten. You are on our mind. We are praying that the Lord will comfort you and that you will know in the quiet times that all of us in your family that never ends are thinking about you right now and grieving with you every moment.

Until we see you, here is our warmest hug and love to you.

Gayle, I pray that "Grace and Peace" be with you and the family at this time. We are truly sorry for your loss. My heart ached when I heard the news about Craig. All the memories of elementary and middle school. Football games we played together. I will truly miss him. May the GOD of all GRACE strengthen you and your family at this time.

Ms Gayle I met your brother at The Giles. He was very quiet and occupied by watching a football game probably the Pittsburgh Steelers, on his phone. He had a good spirit about him. And I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet him.

However, I can relate to the loss of siblings. I am the last of 4 girls. But God, he continues to strengthen and keep me in His loving arms. I know that He will do the same for you is my prayer.

Dear Barr family, Craig deeply impressed me the moment he came to my firm's table at a Legal job fair in Pittsburgh about 25 years ago. The 15 minute interview turned into at least an hour's discussion of the challenges of being an African-American legal professional and life in general and we became friends that day. It was an honor to be his colleague at the firm and part of a group of young professionals who "ran" the Pittsburgh nightlife in the mid-90's. Our paths diverged over the years but we kept in touch. Craig always had a hearty laugh in the good times and a kind word in the bad. I will cherish the memories of him and hope that your memories and the outpouring of good words from his friends sustains you through this hard time.
