Craig Michael Grimm

I have finally found what happened to Craig after a lot of searching. I was happy to see he went into nursing as I could tell he was a caring person. We went to Western Washington State College together in 1972 and lived in the same dorm for a short time. I always remember drinking wine with him after I had heard the stressful news that I was to soon have three exams in a row. After that we studied bleary-eyed in the library. My biggest regret is that I turned down his invitation to go...

I have only now discovered of Craig's passing. I have been looking for a contact for a long time and then found that he had died.
I went to Western Washington State College (as it was then known) with Craig and lived in the same dorm for a short period of time in 1972. We were good friends and shared some common ideas about the world.
I will always regret having turned down an invitation to go camping with him.
Having recently experienced the death of my sister to cancer I send to...

Craig and I met when we were in Nursing School at Clark College. We became best friends and pushed, laughed and dragged each other thru school. We played tennis, joked a lot and if I hadn't dragged him thru the door at Kaiser Hospital for OB/GYN, he wouldn' have made it.

I gave him his first teaching job, in Medical Terminology and watched his devotion to teaching grow. His drive to excel in nursing and teaching were relentless and he certainly met these goals.

Keeping in...

Dear Todd and Vance,
I was so sad and suprised to learn of Craig's passing! He was such a vibrant person and we were able to renewed our relationship while we both worked together the Puyallup Tribe.
Because we all, (including my 2 brothers; Gary and Stevie), lived across the street from each other during our childhood, he and I would remanice about the old days, the new days, the in-between days and our future days for hours at a time. He moved away and I looked forward to us...

Craig was one of those rare individuals who could deeply impact the lives of those he came in contact with in a very short period. I was fortunate enough to be one of his students at College of the Desert. But it is not as a nursing instructor who gave me both knowlege and confidence that I remember him most, I remember Craig simply as a wonderful human being who was fascinating to converse with on such a wide variety of topics. Our class met at 6:45AM at Desert Regional Medical Center but I...

I will truely miss the Criagorator; what many of his students referred to him as. He left an impression in my life and heart forever. He was a tough instrunctor- you better know it and know it well! On the other hand, he was the best at explaining processess and procedures. I always felt so comfortable asking him questions, because he really took the time to answer them in a compassionate way. It is a great loss to upcoming students to miss out on Craig's teaching. What a loss... I am so...

Working with Craig was a deligt. He was knowledgeable, funny and one of the best instructors it has been my plesure to meet. The nursing profession has lost one of the best.

Words can not express my deepest sympathy for your loss, but the loss that will be felt by every student that Craig has taught.

What a great knowledge he carried and his unique ability to instruct his students like no other, and the determination to make us the the best nurses he knew we could be.

I will always be grateful for the relationship that I had with Craig, without his knowledge, and his way of teaching along with his dedication in the field of nursing I know that I...

Carol, Craig was a friend in a former life. Sorry to hear of his passing.
