Craig,

You were the best boyfriend I have ever had, and will be remembered fondly. It makes me sad to think of your family... especially your neice, you were so good with her. I wish we had kept in touch, it was a hard dose of reality. Honestly I always thought when things were ok again we would be together. I just want to remember everything you have done effect my life, and how much fun you were and how loved you made me feel.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of Craig. So many questions and extreme pain fill your every moment. It is impossible to consider your lives without Craig and yet here it is. It has been 6 months since our Larry left this earth and we know all too well the path on which you must now travel. We have not been given insight to God's workings therefore we cannot possibly understand why he has chosen to bring our loved ones to his side. We cannot comprehend the fullness of joy that Larry and Craig now enjoy. We can only pray that God holds us close, carries us through until we one day look upon the precious faces of our boys and know that all is well. Peace and Courage are prayed for you all. Please know that you may call on us anytime. Ray and Leesa Philippon

Craig's winning smile endeared him to me when I met him years ago. He was always welcome in our home and was here quite often. Craig was like a son to me and like a brother to my son Jon - they were the best of friends. I still imagine them playing video and board games and cooking together in the kitchen. Craig, you are greatly missed. You will be in my heart and in my prayers always.

No words that I can possibly say even try to explain how much I miss him. I'm giving my deepest sympathies to his family, his close friends, the lives he touched just with a smile. Cindy and William are the best parents Craig could've ever had, he spoke so highly of his whole family. John and Nicole, he looked up to you so much and he always had his family in his heart. I'm positive he will never be forgotten in this world, and I'm sure he's very peaceful and content. All I have are fond memories of him, his glowing charisma and even though I can't see him anymore, I can feel that he has no more pain and no more tears. He was a very special friend, we were like brothers to each other. My greatest memories of him are helping each other through hard times, playing video games until 4 o'clock in the morning, going to almost a dozen concerts, listening to his music, playing lazer tag, him @ my 16th birthday flying the airplane, or even the times we just sat and watched tv. I never met anyone else that was as good as him at hacky sack, or anyone else that was so competitive in a friendly way that made you try your hardest to be your best. He touched my life, my heart, he defined the meaning of a true friend and I'll never forget him. The caring, generous, loving, memorable Craig that I know. He helped me clean my house the day my son was born, he cooked dinner for my family numerous times, even ate hot dogs out of my fridge .. Craig, I know you're safe and well up there and I will see you again Someday. Until then, I will never forget you. We all love and miss you Craig, and our deepest sympathies extend to his family.

Craig, Its been so long since we got a chance to talk. We were as close as brothers up until you moved. I wish we kept in touch more than we did but i still have all the memories i need to carry on. During the mass people talked about some of the pain you had to deal with in your life I never witnessed that, all i ever saw was how happy you were and how much fun we had together. So many of my childhood memories have you in them whether it was Gary vs Scavetta football or soccer games or wrestling on your trampoline with everyone from the neighborhood. The neighborhood was never the same once you left and I always wished the best for you and i want you to know i never stopped thinking about you. I wish the best in this time of struggle for your family and i hope we all keeep in touch.

TRYING TO FIND WORDS OF COMFORT WHEN THERE REALLY IS NONE TO SHARE

WHEN WALKING AMONGST THE LIVING IS REALLY TO MUCH TO BARE

I FELT HIM WALK BESIDE ME, I FELT HIM TOUCH MY HAIR

I FELT HIS LOVE IN MY HEART THOUGH I KNEW HE WAS NO LONGER THERE

I ASKED HIM FOR FORGIVENESS I ASKED THIS FROM MY FRIEND

WHO CAN NO LONGER WALK BESIDE US NOW LIVING IN GOD'S LAIR

Craig you take with you so much love, for while you were here you touched so many hearts and where ever we go in this crazy mixed up world at least we know you'll always be there. I love you and will miss you more than you know.

I can't begin to express my sympathy for the loss of Craig. It is unfortunate that families come together most in times of loss, but know that I am with all of you, in thoughts and prayers always. I think of you all often. From the "Step-Aunt" Michelle

Even though we grew apart as our high school days went on, I still always had you in my thoughts. The short time we shared together meant a great deal to me, more than words could say. You will always hold a piece of my heart. We'll truly miss you

Craig,

The years I've spent close to you are some that I will always cherish forever. You have always been nothing short of amazing.
