I realize this is almost 20 years ago, but I've thought about Craig many times over the years. Was just thinking about him today and tried a google search, and surprised I found him so quickly. Sadly, the last time I saw him was June or July of 1995 when I was in Phoenix for work but then lost contact (I think he was working on fire fighting aircraft ?). Really sorry to learn of his passing. We went to ERAU together and rented a house in Daytona with a couple other guys. We even dog sat for his dad's Doberman (Romel who was a sweet dog) for a while. We had some great times back then. Many trips with him to The Wave Club on his Goldwing 1000. Anyway - hoping someone close to him sees this message and knows that someone is still thinking about him. My sincerest sympathies for the family and friends.

Dianne - I am so sorry for this loss. Craig touched all of us with his never ending smile, his laughter, and his genuine interest in the well-being of others. We will all miss Craig's physical presence but know that he will always be with us in spirit.

Thanks for being the friend you were. You helped me get the job at T&G, gave me a room for a few months, feed me at times, and even shared a few beers. Sorry I never stopped by for the visit I often thought about. But glad I was able to know you.. GOD BLESS you and your family.

Take flight Craig, soar into the sky,
finally free to feel the controls at your fingertips.
The wonder of universe, stretches before you,
and you know that a calling, has finally been answered.
Feel the winds of freedom Craig, and fly forever more.
