To Liz and family, So sorry to hear of the passing of Craig. I worked with Craig around 1980 in Tampa Customer Service at GE. I always enjoyed talking to him throughout the years when he became an ASM and I moved to GE in Louisville. I always enjoyed his laughter and humor. He was a very warm and welcome friend. I am so sorry that we were not in touch since I retired 10 years ago.

I just found out about this and am deeply saddened. Craig was one of the first people I met at Lennar when I moved to Charlotte. He was such a great person to work with and we did business for years until his retirement! He will be missed!
