My husband and I met Craig when we moved to Prescott Valley last September when he came to our home to do some work for us. Not only was his great personality evident but we also quickly realized how professional and honest he was. During the span of him being at our home for two weeks, we would spend time after work sharing a drink and getting to know each other. We also had the wonderful opportunity to meet his smart and beautiful daughter Sam and had fun talking to her over dinner at LaBruzza's. We were devastated to hear of Craig's death and just want his daughter and family to know what a great father and friend we found him to be - he will be greatly missed! Mike and Jill Prather
