MR. CRAIG WAS ONE OF THE KINDEST AND FUNNIEST MEN THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I NEVER KNEW ANYONE WHO LOVED HIS FAMILY MORE THAN HE DID. WHEN I WAS NINE YEARS OLD HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED ANYTHING TO EAT AND I TOLD HIM THAT I'D LIKE A SUGAR SANDWICH. MR. CRAIG STILL REMEMBERED THAT SUGAR SANDWICH THAT HE MADE ME THAT DAY 40 YEARS LATER. WE OFTEN LOOKED BACK ON THAT AND LAUGHED SO HARD WE CRIED. IN ADDITION TO HIS PERSONAL CHARM AND WARMTH, MR. CRAIG WAS A TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL AND HIGHLY ETHICAL BUSINESSMAN WHO WAS VERY KEEN IN KNOWING HOW TO RUN AND BUILD A BUSINESS. HE WAS TRULY AN AMAZING PERSON WHO I WILL NEVER FORGET AND WILL MISS DEEPLY. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH HIS FAMILY.

I have known Mr. Craig since I moved to Texas with my family over 30 years ago. He was a wonderful, kind and caring man who will be greatly missed.
Lois, Richard (Tyke), Mike, Debbie and their families will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I was saddened to hear of Rich's passing. For several years we walked in the mornings and had conversations about many things concerning politics, family and life. He was always up-beat and had great energy. He was very fond of his wife, Lois, and his children. I've thought of him often over the past few years. Even though we've been out of touch I considered him a friend. I'll miss him.
