We have been out of town and it is with sadness we note Craig's passing. How well we remember his wonderful stories and zest for life. Craig and Dorothy moved into the house next to us as our new neighbors upon their arrival to Topeka. They were so kind to our oldest son, Brad, such as inviting him in for some of Dorothy's cookies after a tough day in kindergarten. Also, our youngest son, Mike, was a willing subject to another of Craig's many interests...photography. We have several wonderful...

To The Family:
We at Brewster Place are already missing Craig. Nearly every day a resident mentions his name to me. I also enjoyed his friendship. I have been chaplain at BP for nearly a year. Craig was one of the first residents that I was fortunate to develop a friendship. I always marveled at the stories about his life. It was a pleasure to have known him and he will be missed greatly. Peace, Larry Hardin

Dr. Yorke, it was a pleasure to get to know your dad during his recent visits to our office (Kansas Insurance Department), and I was saddened to read of his passing. He shared many stories with me about his youth, his career, and his pride for his son and grandsons. I shared with him that you attended my mother 23 years ago when she nearly died from a closed head injury (she's alive, well, and ornery to this day). He was a delightful and gracious gentleman. To live independently with a sharp...
