This is such sad news. I am so very very sorry for your loss. I too remember Craig from Valentine Street. We were next door neighbors and several of us grew up playing in the streets until the street lights came on..our clue to go in. Craig held his own surrounded by our group of girls. Fond memories of playing kick the can and hide- and- go -seek and making forts in the near-by vacant lot. Our two houses were the same floor plan but reversed...one bedroom upstairs. I remember Craig and I trying to make a phone with cans and string and running it across from bedroom to bedroom....I lost contact with the family when they moved away but was not surprised to hear that he was serving on the police force as the kind and good boy had grown to a man that would continue to help others. My thoughts and prayers go out to June and Craig's family.

I want to extend my condolences to friends and family on the passing of Craig. I grew up with Craig on Valentine Street, and have very fond memories of long summers playing in the nearby field, or exploring the trails and hills behind our neighborhood. Craig was a very kind and good boy. We would sit under the light in front of his house and talk about life. He would represent the "boys" point of view and we girls would talk about what it was like to be a girl. We went all through school with Craig and often rode the bus together. We loved June, and thought of her as our second mom. My prayers go out to Craig's loved ones and wish you all peace and comfort at this time of your loss.
