Time with Uncle Craig was always joyful. I have many fond memories of our trips to the parks in Orlando and visiting Grandma and Grandpa. He was always kind and genuine, and I know he will be missed by many. Sandy, may it bring you peace at how wonderful of an uncle he was to me. May he rest in peace while he remains always in our hearts.

Sandy, we were so deeply saddened to learn of Craig's passing. Our hearts go out to you. Craig was always a joy to talk with, and we loved running into you both- it seemed almost everywhere! You were always on the move! We enjoyed bonding over our love of animals, and we were always happy to attend your skating fundraisers for them. Our kids were also very lucky to have had the interactions they did with him, as we are all blessed to have known him. Please know we are thinking of you, and praying for your strength and wellness in this very difficult time. I hope you find comfort in the knowledge of how well loved he was by everyone, how you both are, and we that your treasured memories together bring you comfort at this time. Sending much love to you.
