My student advisor during my days at Boston Day and Evening back in 2015. Your aura immediately made you likable, and I always looked to you when in question or need of something. I loved my high school experience there and you were apart of that as well. It was and still is a shock to learn of your sudden passing. I honestly wish I got to say goodbye. Although, we never really know when that is for us. God rest your beautiful soul!

Just a good, good man gone way too soon. His choosen occupation of teacher gives us just a hint of his character. I had the privilege of watching Craig help people of all ages and from all walks of life, he was amazing and will be sorely missed R.I.P. Craig
