I think of Craig every day and still miss him terribly. He was a one-in-a-million person and friend. I feel very fortunate to have known him and to be the godfather of Craig Jr.

He will be so missed. Always brought a smile to our face. Rest in peace.

Of all the many fine qualities Craig had, his love of children and his ever-present smile were the ones I most loved. Mark Harm's comment on my Facebook post about Craig's memorial service reminded me of those qualities and made me smile. I'm really going to miss him.
I remember we would go to his door. Sometimes Cathy would answer, and we would ask her, Can Craig come out and play? I can probably count on one hand the times he didn't. Mark Harm

Craig was one who could make you laugh even when you didn't feel like laughing. His humor brightened many an occasion and his absence will be felt by all who knew and loved him. The number one thing I loved about Craig besides his big heart was his inability to be politically correct. Miss you buddy. Keep em laughing.

Lorraine Emery and I enjoyed many meals or just seeing Craig and his Dad in several of the south area eating places.He was fun to be with as always had some remarks to make. Provided his Dad a lot of companionship. Miss seeing him. Billie Egolf

I first met Craig on October 3, 1972. We were on the bus together on our way to be inducted into the US Army. Turns out that we shared the same birthday (and the same draft number). We ended up being best buds for many years thereafter. I have always been very honored that Craig Sr. and Kathy chose me to be Craig Jr.'s godfather. Craig Sr. will be sorely missed and never forgotten by me and my wife, Barbara. He was literally a one in a million.

I have many fond memories of Craig doing many plumbling repairs at my homes and Craig giving me "friendly and knowledgeable" comments on my softball umpiring skills. The world and his family will miss his great and caring personality and outlook on life. RIP to Craig.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Craig. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure when it fills your heart with love and brings you joy. May you find comfort in Jesus promise of the hope of everlasting on earth at John 6:40.
