Not sure what to say?

Craig was such a GOOD guy and was taken from us WAY to soon, doesn´t seem possible that he´s been gone 4 years. May he RIP

I played little league baseball with Craig and we both went to Roosevelt high school. Haven't seen Craig since our youth. But never forgot the fun times we shared. I am sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies to his family.

Becky, Sorry to hear about Craig. He was a good man. I enjoyed knowing him and working with him. I only found out today that he died. Kevin Okeefe.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.
