Not sure what to say?

His playing inspired me at 15 years old, and 42 years later you made me a better bass player.

From one Craig to another, know you made a difference brother.

My name is Tom Pollard. I hung out with Craig for a few years in Connecticut. The last time I saw him he was playing on stage with Swan at the Powder Ridge Festival, I ran into him on a hill and we talked.Bob Brockway , my friend and fellow bandmate was in in Georges Boys together. We jammed many times.He would always give me a ride home in his Volkswagen Bug from Bobs in Westbrook to Branford ( Short Beach)which was out of his way but he was glad to do it.Thats the kind of guy he was.

Condolences to the Macgregor
family.

Craig and I attended Orange Avenue School in Milford, CT

I recall Craig talking about joining a band as a career back in 1964 when he lived on North Street in Milford, CT

Craig drew this for me in 1964

My sincere condolences Lisa. I lived next door to Beverly from 2003 until she passed. Met Craig a few times and we always enjoyed Foghat and Craig was such a friendly guy. His legend lives on!!!

Lisa, I'm so sorry for your loss of Craig. I got to know your family from dogsitting Whiskey for Beverly. I would occasionally see Craig when I worked at Lowe's. He was always so very kind, and would tell me about Collin's latest adventures. What a great guy he was!

Lisa, My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and Collin during this most difficult time.God speed his comfort & peace!

Former Swan guitarist...Sailor still.

Have a lot of unforgettable "times" w/Craig,going back to 4 yrs of learning to live on zero$ with the Swan band..attempting to not get "run-over" by possibly the best rhythm section I've ever seen, let alone played with.....to chasing "Roller Derby" games all over the Northeast whenever we could....to being the best musician in Foghat.Proud to have known him...will always be in my memories.

CRAIG YOU WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED IM GLAD I GOT TO MEET YOU AT SIMS PARK IN NEW PORT RICHEY, FL AT YOUR SHOW THERE THANKS FOR THE MUSIC AND MEMORIES YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART
