Erik and I join with the many mourning Peter Craig's passing, yet also celebrating the wonderful legacy he has left for the Swedish Colonial Society over many years of contributions. I met Peter about 45 years ago and he was admired by my parents, Alice & Carl Lindborg. May he rest in peace.

I feel very blessed to have known Peter Craig and want to thank his family for sharing him with so many people like myself. He will not be forgotten. My deepest sympathy. Eugenia Eberle (Albuquerque, New Mexico)

I express my deepest sympathy to Dr. Craig's family- Dr. Craig was a tremendous help to me in my research, and he will be greatly missed.

We are so greatful for Dr. Peter Craig a fine man and a great scholar and Lawyer. He will be missed in the world of Swedish American Studies. We are so greatful for His research of many generations of the Swedish Clements Family of Cecil County, MD, DE, and all over American!

The Swedish Clements Family

Dr. Craig's lectures were a rare opportunity to learn from a great scholar and historian. His books are valued additions to my library. Those of us researching colonial Swedish history and families have lost a great resource. Condolences to the Craig family.
