Not sure what to say?

Happy Heavenly Birthday Craig. Your gain is the rest of our's loss with brother Glen has now joined you. Last year I never thought I'd be writing those words to you on your next birthday. It's still unbelievable to me. I hope you two have your own Ophir property in heaven where you two can work to your heart's content. Please know that I'll help your mother out whenever she needs it. She also has her wonderful grandson Justin close by who was a wonderful gift from Glen, now that she's lost...

7 years is unbelievable my closest friend. I can still hear your voice saying "How's it goin' you crazy Italian!" like it was yesterday. I'm glad it seems so recent in my memory. Others have joined you recently. Your cousin Lonnie and of course my mother who you've always admired. Please say hi to her for me, even though I talk to her daily. It might be nice for her to also hear it from someone else. Take care up there in Paradise buddy. Much love to you.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Craiger my friend. In the old days we'd celebrate it with a booze cruise. How I miss you and those days. Rest easy my best buddy.

Now that we've reached the 6th year since your passing, I'm reminded how the years fly. I'm getting older here, but you will be forever young at 57 my friend. Much love to your heavenly spirit.

Happy Heavenly Birthday my dearest and longest friend. This is the day you always caught up to my age. 57 years old seems so young now and so long ago. I will fall off the wagon and have a beer with you when we meet. Keep resting easy with the angels Craig.

It's hard to fathom that 4 years have gone by since your passing from all of us. Time has its way of marching on but memories of you stand still and seem like yesterday. Here is a wonderful portrait of you as a tribute by Doug. It really captures you. Glen gifted me this one to you. It's a wonderful gift to you from Doug using his talent to memorialize you. Rest well with the angels my friend.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Craiger. Have a nice day celebrating with the angels. We sure all miss you here.

Craig and I at Rogers Ranch

Your passing is a reminder of how they years slip away. At first we try to come to terms that you were gone and now it's been 4 years and sometimes I'm still in shock if I think about it too hard. Here is one of countless fond memories that I have of your time here with the rest of us. You, Dwayne and I touring the remnants of Rogers Ranch. That was a wonderful day. Rest easy friend.

Happy Belated Birthday my dear friend Craig. Today I just realized it was 10 days ago. We had dinner at Glen and Tracie's tonight down by the creek. It was quite peaceful. Several times I was thinking how neat it would have been to have you there with us laughing. Rest easy my friend.
