Read MoreCraig was my band director in high school. Music changed my life. The opportunities and encouragement he provided all of us helped us to do and be our best. I´ve nothing but fond memories of Craig. I will always be grateful for his leadership and mentoring. Our band was simply the best in the South Bay.

Craig was my band director at Torrance High while I was there for 1981 to 1985. He was a tremendous person and inspiration. We had a fantastic music program and an award winning Jazz band under his direction. He really pushed you to be the best you could be. He will be missed.

Through his music career as a band director I became his friend. I loved playing in his Jazz Ensemble at Victor Valley College where I became friends with many of the band members. He will be sorely missed. Great director, lover of music, awesome trumpet player, and amazing friend. The world has just lost a great human being.
