Not sure what to say?

It is difficult to believe it has been 12 years since Craig's passing. Craig and I worked together on way too many trips to count. He was a popular trip director with all of my clients, and they came to treat him as a close friend. They always looked forward to "seeing him next time." Craig and I shared so many of the same interests, especially when it came to sports. He was a walking encyclopedia, and a master of sports trivia. We had a lot of fun together. Incentive trips don't...

Craig was a very dear friend of mine. I miss him very much. I loved to hear all the countries he had visited and his experiences.
He was a great guy.

Thanks for the friendship! It was truly a gift to know you - great memories and wonderful discussions always just a few feet away....

Dear Kim and Family,
I met Craig on the road where we became good friends and coworkers. He ran my legs off once in Vegas; and I thought I was in good shape. We shared a love of football, baseball, and most any other sport that was in the news at that time. He will be dearly missed by all those that were fortunate enough to have known him.

I am saddened by the news of the passing of Mr. Melvin. He was a great ref and umpire. I played softball in Parchment many years ago and remember having many conversations with him behind the plate. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

Dear Kim & Family,
I just learned of your husband's death yesterday. Please accept my deepest condolences. I can still remember the sparkle in you eyes when you and Craig were engaged. Just remember the happy and wonderful times you have shared to warm your heart during this difficult time.
Love,
Mary Conklin (Portage, MI)

Kim & family, my heart goes out to you at this time. I always enjoyed talking to Craig @ our warehouse sale each year.
Rest in the truth that Craig is with the Lord now.

All of us on the Tonga CC trip had the pleasure of traveling with and getting to know Craig during those few weeks last April. We are all shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. He was a joy to be around and always had a smile on his face. Please know that warm thoughts and our sincerest condolences are with your family from DC to Ontario to California and New Zealand.

Kim,
I'm so sorry to hear the passing of Craig, I remember his days as a McDonald's manager and from time to time since I would run into him and he would give me updates on his travels. I'm glad to have known him and so sad to find out about his death. My thought and prayers are with you.
