Not sure what to say?

I think that Craig was a kind of father to me, making me feel important and giving me good advices. I really miss him.

I will always have Craig in my mind and remember his combination of wisdom and care

I will always remember the feeling of nearness that Craig offered me - being a part of an important We Thomas

I am Thomas Ekbom from Stockholm, Sweden. I and Craig were real close friends. We met each other in the field of criminology where we both wrote books about crime and punishment. We also met person to person, in Sweden, Finland and USA. At one time we were preparing to write a book together. Craig had intelligence, a great heart and a lot of humour.
When times went tough in USA he asked me to find out the possibilities for him to settle in Sweden. I really enjoy remembering a vacation...

I'm very sorry to hear of Craig's death. Craig was always intellectually curious, and I enjoyed my conversations with him at the local coffee house in town. Requiescat in pace.

Dr. Parker and Dave Maxwell were hands down the best instructors I ever had. Rest In Peace. #UNH88

I do feel sorrow to hear about the death of my dear dear old friend Craig. I loved his kindness and humour.

I benefited from Dr. Parkers wisdom and concern for the students within Criminal Justice at UNH. He was always available to encourage and advise which meant the difference. Fondly remembered, Retired NHPD detective Tom Morrissey, Jr.

My husband and I have known Craig for many years and were saddened to hear of his death. Craig always had an interesting story to tell over the numerous cups of coffee we shared. My husband and I were blessed to have known him.
