To Curtis & Family: My wife and I would like to express our sympathies for your loss. We try to understand this but cannot; God's plan for us is unknown until each of us are called home. Be strong in your faith and find comfort knowing Craig is in a better place than us. And if he was a believer, then he surely walks and rides now with our Saviour Jesus!

Craig was a friend of near 35 years. From our years at CWO till just last week, I always loved sharing time with him. I wish I could have done more to change his life, but I find comfort in believing that one day we will meet again in heaven. I love you, old friend.

To the family of Craig, I am very saddened by the news of his death. I worked with Craig for 3 or 4 years at Crist Industries. He was always up beat and I never heard him say an unkind word about or to anyone. He was always willing to help if you needed it.
He will be dearly missed here at Crist Industries. My deepest sympathy's to all of his family.

Craig was a sweet and hard working guy. I considered him a good friend and enjoyed talking to him at work. Craig has stayed with us in our camper at Texas Motor Speedway for the Nascar Races. Craig will be greatly missed by me and his fellow co-workers. My deepest sympathy goes out to his mother and family.

Curtis,
So sorry for your loss... Those of us who ride pretty much consider ourselves to be "in the club" - we ride together, wave when passing, and stop to help each other when we see a breakdown. There's something special about what we do that's hard to explain, but we all feel it. I didn't know your brother personally, but I know that all bikers will miss a brother too. God bless you and your family.
