Not sure what to say?

I've just gotten to know Craig well the past few months working side by side with him in maintenance at the GH, I'm so deeply saddened by his loss, I feel as though i've lost a brother. I will never be able to replace him with a co-worker so easy to work with, fun, quiet. He's also lots like me, loves to build, loves his job, loves to learn, loves the people around him, wants the best for everyone, what i can't or didn't have time to do he did and vice-versa. Hugs and prayers to you Teri...

Craig and I BBQing together at the park.

He was my best friend here in NM. I'm really going to miss him. Jason Meadowcroft, myself and Craig went through some rough times together but we always came out stronger in the end. I'm sorry we never got to meet you Teri. Our condolences

Teri, my heart goes out to you. This is so sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love you.

Teri - hugs and prayers to you during this difficult time. Cherish those memories forever. Thinking of you lots - Becca

Craig was one of those people that you always thought would be there. Compassionate and caring to all of his friends. My heart aches that his light has been removed from the world. He was a great man. My deepest sympathies and condolences to his family. He was the best of us and he will be dearly missed.

Ron, Julie and Rhonda, so sorry for your families pain. God bless, will be keeping you in my prayers!

Craig was a caring and skilled co-worker who was always willing to help, whether it was a leaking pipe or a crashed computer. He will be sorely missed by everyone who worked with him.

Craig- Calm, resourceful, accepting , intelligent and giving. If you start describing Craig : you will need a bigger alphabet. I was lucky enough to know Craig. I would love to hear from some of the old gang contact me so we can share Craig memories ( Yes you Jason, Teri, Gail , Robert and GH people)

Sending my deepest sympathy to all of Craigs family. My prayers are with you.
