my name is Wendell lee and i can say that Craig was a great person.

He will always be missed and loved in my heart.
April 11, 2019
I met Red back in the early 80's, his Aunt Vo and my mother worked together at Sunland and we used to play together as kids. As we grew up, we lost touch, I know he went away for a little bit but when he came back, we spoke just like it was the old days. Every time I ran in to him around town, he always spoke, shook my hand and gave me a hug. He was always respectful to my family and was an all around good person. I'm going to miss seeing your smiling face old friend. I hope you rest in peace.

I never heard of you until the story of your death in the news. But I wish I had known you.
By example, you have proven there are still good people in this sad, crazy, mixed-up world. And I can't think of a better way to meet Jesus face-to-face than having your last moments on earth showing everyone what caring and love is all about. Thank you for being an inspiration we can all look up to. My prayers go to your family.
God bless to you and yours always.
