Not sure what to say?

To my beautiful Aunt Doris and my favorite cousins, my heart is broken with the loss of my most favorite Uncle ever. Throughout the years we shared many wonderful experiences together. With our many talks he gave me sound advice and helped me times over the years. I inherited his first name from my mother and was proud to be named after him. I loved this man and will carry his wisdom in my heart forever. My condolences to all my loved ones. RIP Uncle Bob. Your favorite nephew, Bob Baker

What a wonderful obituary that is. Thank you for making it available for all to read. I now feel like I knew Mr. Craig a little bit and he appears to have had a wonderful life. Phil, as you know, it is almost 2 yrs ago that I lost my Dad. I hope that you have many warm and happy memories of being with your Dad. The pain will ease over time, but, he will always be in your heart.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with all of you as you miss "dad". I loved him very much and will miss him too.

Blessings to Doris and all of the children and granchildren. Laura

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. The Emil Sieggreen Family

Dear Doris,

You and all of your family are in my heart right now, as are the many wonderful memories I have of Bob. I began my career in advertising at Ross Roy in Saginaw. Bob's faith in me and his support are the reasons I moved ahead in this field. What fun we had during our Saginaw years! What fun we had many times at Treasure Island! Bob was a mentor to me...and to so many others. I feel so very fortunate to have known this great, great man. What a gift. I am so sorry...

Doris, it was with a heavy heart that I learned of Bob's passing tonight. Bob was more than a friend and mentor he was practically like a father to me while I was in Saginaw. He was even responsible for me meeting my wife Melinda.While there is a tear in my eye because Bob has departed I refuse to let it get me down because that is not the way Bob would have wanted it. He had a great heart and a great spirit and he made every one around him a better and happier person. He will certainly be...

I worked for Bob at Ross Roy in the heyday of the McDonald's account. He was a fabulous leader, a great teacher and the only person I know that could turn stress into fun. Many of he skills he taught me then I still carry with me now. I have thought of him often throughout the years and was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. May your fond memories give you strength in this difficult time.

Doris and Family:
I owe my 33 year Marketing career to Bob. He was a great mentor and gentleman. I have many fond memories of our time together. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Diane and the Craig family are in the prayers of the Cary Family in Saginaw, Michigan. Like Patrick Murphy, I also worked at Breen Advertising back in the early 60's, your dad gave me that opportunity. Many times I think what could have been...if I had continued to pursue that field. I know your family probably remembers my famous "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" rendition with the wobbling posterbaord sound in the backgroud. May this and other fun experiences help you through this very difficult time....
