Not sure what to say?

I've known Gator since I was about 8 years old. He was a vey good friend of my late mother Tina Hedgren. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I talked with him after my mothers passing about culinary school. We had both went to the same one. I just found out of his passing and wanted to let his family, especially his mother how sad I was to hear of his passing and not to have been able to be there in their time of need. I will always cherish my memories of him. My prayers will...

I had the privilege of photographing Craig for his manager, Jerry Lenza. Recently I came across all my old negatives of Craig. I would love to be able to share these with family.

Howard, I just found out through the 'net' checking up on old friends..(took me a few trys to get the name right) I'm sorry to hear of Craigs passing. My prayers to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to the Bodzianowski family

I left IL so many years ago, buy Craig and I went to school together and I never forgot him. I was sorry to hear of your loss. Craig was a good guy in school, I can only imagine what a man he became, by all the condolences. May you remember that he was a gift from God and remember the blessings he shared with all of us! May God Bless Craig's family and loved ones!

My heart and prayers are with the family, may the God of all comfort, comfort you in this time of sorrow.

my prayers are with all from my the sparr family and the madros

So sorry for your loss. He was one of my favorites students and came back to Sandburg a few times to show off his belt. He always popped in to see me. I was his high school biology teacher. I also had Bill in class too. Seems like an eternity has passed since those days of watching him wrestle with the mom and dad and clan in the stands. I remember dad as being a mountain of a man. Gator remembered me in his book mentioning that he was killing time waiting for one of his matches while...

RIP Gator! As a friend of my fathers, he would visit us in Wisconsin and one of my greatest memories was when he would fall asleep, my sisters and I would sneak and take a look at his leg. We thought it was the neatest thing! We were so afraid he would wake up and catch us! I was little, but that memory seems like yesterday and will be one I will never forget! Love and prayers!
