Not sure what to say?

a great father in law who always supported our family in many ways without question.. I remember he would say I was his favorite daughter in law... well I was his only daughter in law!

Craig had a huge impact on me. He guided me towards becoming a teacher of the hearing impaired, was a great mentor, teacher and friend.

I t was my good fortune and pleasure to know Craig during our years at Gra nd Valley. While we did not always agree on issues there was never a doubt in my mind that Craig was clearly one of the most able and gifted teachers it has ever been my pleasure to know. He will be missed by a host of teachers he taught and f riends.

I have known Craig from his first year of teaching at Shawnee Park.we worked at Shawnee and GVSU together until he retired. Whenever I think of Craig I smile. So many smiles. His students loved him and would do anything for him. One very unique and special person. See you later.
