I was truly sorry to hear of Craig's passing--too young to leave this world. I had the pleasure of knowing Craig during high school. He always had a hello for me after all these years when we ran into one another.
I hope you find comfort in the memories you have and it helps to know he will be missed by so many whose lives he touched. God bless you all.

My deepest condolances to the Simmons family. It's been years since I saw Craig, but I still have the best wishes for the furture he wrote in my St Thomas Aquinas 1967 Class Night booklet. May he be long remembered.

What can I say about Craig! Wow! We certainly had a lot of fun, laughs and good times at Chadwix! He always had a story to tell...or finish the one you were telling....he was a riot! Craig always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone...in his thoughts, outlook and humor. He has touched so many lives that he will truly live forever in the hearts and minds of so many people. My sympathies go out to all the Simmons family and to Craig's much much extended family in Fairfield and beyond. I for one will remember him with a smile on my face!

Sims... You will always be a "highlight" of my youth... You once YELLED at me for hitting 2 Home Runs during a 10:45 game while we were teammates in the Sunday morning softball league... The funny thing about it was that I hit 4 Home Runs against you during the 7:45 game earlier that day so some people found it peculiar that you were upset with me for only hitting 2 for you... "Who's Your Buddy"? You Are!!!
Rest in Peace

Katie and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the Simmons family. Working with Craig at Chadwicks is one of my favorite memories. It was a laugh a minute and what I always will remember about Craig was that under that gruff exterior was a warm and generous heart. I will miss him.

Colleen,
Wishing you peace and strength through this difficult time. I never knew Craig but he must've been a wonderful man since he was your brother. I am here if you want to talk, since you know I understand the pain you feel at this time.
Love,

Craig was the best man at my wedding but I would say he was the best man in life as well. He was the kindness, most caring and of course funny person!! His compassion for others was always present even as he faced his own life trials. To Craigs family- he always spoke so proudly of you and with such true love.My heart and prayers are with you all for it was so clear how much he was loved by you all..he surely knew. God bless Craig and his family and all his numerous friends. Craig- I love you, thank-you for making me feel special and for making me laugh! You will always hold a special place in my heart. Nancy
