Dear Craig, Today's my birthday and I wish I had you here to celebrate it with me. Things just aren't how they should be with you gone. You should be here with me enjoying our beautiful grandchildren. A wish for my birthday is that I get to have dreams with you in them tonight or at least a sign that you are near. Love, forever.....Me

Dear Pepin family, I've been thinking of your beloved Craig lately and need to turn my thoughts to words. Craig and I were classmates throughout elementary and high school and he was always one of my favorites. To some degree, we all seemed to enjoy our lives during those school days, but Craig grabbed each day with gusto. Our 50th reunion year is here and It will be diminished by the loss of such a dear friend. He will be in all of our hearts at this time. With fondest memories, Mary

Dear Craig,
How could 5 years have already gone by. I have missed being able to see your face with our grandchildren. I would have loved to have seen you being their Pep. You would have made such an amazing grandfather. I have to believe you are watching over them and seeing them every day. I so miss having you here with me, I lost a part of myself that day. It isn't easy living my life without you. Please stay close to me Love, forever...Me

Dear Craig,
I keep you with me wherever I go. You will always be a part of me. You must be very proud of our kids. We did good in bringing them up. They have turned into such wonderful adults. You live on in each of us and we keep you close to our hearts always. Love, forever...Me

Dear Craig,
Wishing this world could be filled with people like you who didn't judge others. You accepted people as they were. I just wish there could be more peace between people. I purposely picked the song Let There Be Peace on EArth as we were leaving the Church from the funeral because that is what I feel we need to have more of in this world. I hope someday our grandkids will live in a world where people accept one another for whoever they are. We so need peace among people. Thanks for showing us how to accept each other. We love you and miss you. Love, forever...Me

Dear Craig,
Sitting here thinking of you and missing you. Life was so much easier with you here. I miss having you to talk to about things and having you help us. It is not easy trying to do things without you. I saw a Bud truck today....life will never be the same. Love, forever......Me
February 25, 2012
Dear Craig,
Wish we could have celebrated your birthday with you yesterday. Your kids are all at the UCONN game tonight, UCONN can use some help from you in beating Syracuse. You did enjoy all your time following UCONN basketball. YOu especially would have enjoyed last season when they won the whole thing. Hope you had a great seat through it all. You found enjoyment in so many places and you were so easy to please. You never asked much from anyone but were always ready to help whenever needed. You are so missed by your family. We all wish we could have you back with us. Just remember how Me

Dear Craig,
Missing you so much and wishing you were here sitting with me now. Another year starting and another year without you. Hardly seems possible. So many things I want to tell you and share with you times and then in a flash the realization that your not here comes back to mind. Reality is hitting in which makes it all so much harder. Just know how much you are loved and missed and that you will always be a part of us and will never be forgotten.
Love, forever.....Me
November 11, 2011
Dear Craig,
Things are so much harder when I try to do them myself. You made things seem so easy to do. I just wish I was sharing everything with you still and having you to talk to. I miss you so much. Love, forever...Me

Dear Craig,
Another lonely Saturday night. How I miss those nights we would get take out and watch a movie together. Such a simply thing, but one I would love to get a chance to do again. I miss you. Love always, Your Bride
September 18, 2011
Dear Craig,
We love and miss you. There is so much we wish we could be sharing with you and watching you smile at our little Julia. Life is so different with you gone. You brought so much happiness to our family. I don't know if I will ever fully grasp everything that happened to you. I just know how lonely it gets with you gone. We are so thankful for the time we did have with you, you left an everlasting mark on our hearts. Loving you forever, Me

Dear Craig,
We miss you all the time down here!. Thank you for being such an inspiration, and adorable to anyone you ever caused to smile and feel your life joy. You are undoubtedly watching over your beautiful family and friends, protecting them, and everpresent to help them live life as best they can til you meet again, forever. You led your life in such an honorable way--thanks for being such a hero...And now a saint.

Dear Craig,
I took our family away last week, felt it was good to get away from everything for awhile. Our little Julia helps me so much, she is so comforting to all of us. She really is a special gift that has been given to our family. Please continue to watch over all of us. We miss you so.

I worked with Craig at Shady Glen. He was the fastest ice cream scooper in the place and was always ready with a smile and a good natured greeting. We were all encouraged just working with him. He was a good friend. Even though years have passed, I still miss his passing. I am praying for all he left behind.

Although my wife already signed in, I wanted to add some fond remembrances of time spent with Craig. We were on the same bowling team.(The Apes, named by Tom Crockett I believe.)Craig carried the highest average of our team. I also worked my very first job, if you could call it that, with Craig. We picked strawberries for Zeppas farm. I know we ate more and threw more than we picked, but 10 cents a basket was big money in those days. Another story my wife neglected to tell was when she tripped Craig (on purpose)in school and he fell into the window and it cracked. Funny stuff. I was deeply saddened to hear of the events that took Craig from this world all too soon. I want his family to know that Craig left an impact on all the lives he came into contact with, even the lives he touched so long ago. I hope he is in a better place and maybe even hooked up with Jack Bosworth for a beer.

To the Pepin Family, I had the honor of refereeing soccer and basketball with Craig. What a classy person, with a kind heart, who always put kids first. I am so sorry for your loss - May all of the good he has done continue on through all of the people who were fortunate enough to have met him.

Dear Pepin Family,
We knew Craig for many years, growing up in Bolton and attending school together. In a small town like Bolton, you get to know each other very well, since you spend most of your time in school and out with the same group of people. My husband, Rodger, and Craig were co-captains of Bolton's soccer team, and were all good friends for more years that I can count. We spent many hours laughing and working together on paper drives, grinder sales, talent shows and so many other activities that bring back wonderful memories. Regrettably, we had lost touch with Craig over the years, as so often happens as we get caught up in our own lives. We were shocked and saddened to hear of his tragic loss. Remembering his energy, his fun-loving, kooky nature and positive outlook on life makes it even more tragic to know that he was taken from his family and this world much too soon.
He was truly a hero, and I hope you can take some small comfort in remembering that he always put other people first. We will always remember Craig with fondness and admiration for the kind of person he was. We pray for you. Much love, Alana and Rodger Grose

Joan & family, my name is Bob Nystrom. Craig and I went to Bolton High School together - he was my best friend then....
I am currently living in Portland, Oregon, and I realize you don't know me, for that matter I'm not even sure you would ever have heard of me. My sadness in his death seems magnified by the fact that I had lost touch years ago with some of the people I loved most and who shared the trials & tribulations of growing up together. He truly was my best friend in High School, visited me every year when I was in college in Miami (OK, there was the spring break lure but we all know that was part of Craig's living life to the fullest too). I especially remember one fun summer where he and I and two others from Bolton lived in a campground near N. Truro on Cape Cod, went to the beach by day and worked evenings in a restaurant, the Lobster Pool, in the evenings. There's a big smile on my face in my heart as I remember those times and it's hardly any more than a snippet of joy from all the hours, days and nights and years we were fortunate to have shared together. It is clear to me that he went on to share the qualities I knew with you, his family and countless others. I'm so sorry for your loss and so wish I could have traveled back to Connecticut to share these sentiments in person. He will always remain a part of my story and life. Blessings to you all. Bob

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I worked with Craig in 1972 and 1973 at the Lobster Pool on the Cape with Jack Bosworth and Billy Alzado among others. We lived in a tent all summer. You get to know someone very well living in a tent. Craig was a fun loving guy who would do whatever needed to be done both at work and after work. We lost Jack on the Cape and Billy was in a bad motor cycle accident. It's reassuring to know that Craig made the most of his years. I probably haven't seen him since Jack's funeral but I can tell from this obituary that he remained a person with energy, passion and his heart in the right place. Please accept my condolences.

To The Pepin Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of Craig. Although I haven't lived in South Windsor for 12 years, I was a neighbor and my boys went to school with your boys. Craig was a true role model for his family and all the youth of South Windsor that he touched. He will forever be remembered as one of God's greatest gifts and I pray for your entire family that God will send you peace and compassion in the days ahead.
With sincere sympathy,

Craig was an honest, caring, dedicated, and loving person. He will be missed immensely. I officiated soccer and basketball with Craig.

Please accept my sincerest sympathies for your loss. I remember Craig from our days together at the University of Bridgeport. Even then he was a wonderful, caring and enthusiastic athlete. It appears he has touched many loves through his love of sports and family. I am sure that all have wonderful memories to help ease the pain of so devastating a loss.

Joan and family,Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. We will all miss Craig. There are so many great memories we have of Craig when he and Kevin coached the Yankees together. We recently had a fun chat with Craig at the softball field and will always remember how kind and friendly he was. He was a good man and we will never forget him. He has touched the lives of so many.

Dear Joan & family,
We so remember those little league all-star days when Kevin played for Craig. We have so many pictures from when they won the sectional in 1999. His calm demeanor paired with his knowledge of the game was such a gift for those boys. He could anticipate every play. How fortunate we are that his path crossed Kevin's. It has made him a better person because of it. We are holding you close in thought and prayer each day. With love, The Jodices

Condolences for your tragic loss of Craig. Last night, 1970s staffers of the University of Bridgeport newspaper gathered for an almost-annual reunion in Trumbull. It would have warmed your heart to hear the remembrances of Craig from our college days -- particularly from those who reported sports. The descriptions of Craig, even dimmed by nearly 40 years, were all of a kind and pleasant soul. We hope you take solace in his life well-lived and that God brings you the peace of only happy memories very soon. God bless you all.

Dear Pepin family, It has been many years since Craig coached our soccer team at Bolton High in 1977+78.Even though he had graduated a few years before my class he came back to assist our coach and to coach our J.V. teams. Craig left a great impression and i can remember his enthusiasm and dedication he had for us all. I can see how he would have sacrificed himself to save others...it was just his nature....that impression he left on me like it was yesterday. I was hoping it was not the same Craig Pepin that i remember in Bolton High school but sadly i learnd it was....a true hero in my book...
Lisa Gryszowka
August 6, 2010
To the Pepin Family,
I'm sure there are no words of comfort right now. When I first heard of the shooting I said prayer and asked God to please keep "my drivers" safe. I work at Big Y and Craig was one of the regular drivers who delivered to us. From the first day I met him up until the last time I saw him Craig was a wonderful, kind and very helpful man. He was very patient with me while I was new and learning. I will miss his weekly visits. My deepest sympathy to your entire family.

Dear Joan & family,
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." ~Pericles
This is what Craig has done with the numerous good deeds he did. He was a friend to South Windsor Sports, always upbeat & positive with a friendly word for everyone. He encouraged the many young people he worked with in sports. He was even known to tell a joke or two while running down the line reffing soccer games to lighten the mood. He lived his life unselfishly. May God bless you and your family during this time of sorrow. He left his footprint in the hearts of so so many. He will now look over the wonderful family you & Craig raised. God Bless.

The Pepin Family-
I have wonderful memories of Craig, a childhood friend and school mate. Great natural athlete, great smile, quick with a funny story, terrific personality, all around good guy. Stand-out goalie on BHS and UB soccer teams. It is purely by coincidence that I ended up working for the town where Craig made his mark as a husband, father, friend, coach, referee, and mentor to so many young people. Whenever I would run into him, we'd share some funny stories of our younger days. What happened here is unfathommable and I send my deepest condolences to all of the Pepin family. Craig is a hero in all of our hearts.

I refereed many games with Craig, and he was a kind, gentle man on and off the field. You must be so proud because of his actions, he truly is a hero; many lives were probably saved with his warning to his coworkers. May God bless your family at this difficult time.

Dear Doreen and all of Craig's Family,
I went to school in Bolton with you and those very happy times are laced with warm memories of knowing you and Craig. I am praying for us all in the wake of this horrible event.

August 6, 2010
Fifteen years ago, we had the pleasure of meeting Craig when he was coaching the Yankees...and what a coach he was. I have never seen anyone provide more encouragement and guidance to the kids than Craig. He truly delighted in hitting pop flies and grounders to the kids at PRS. His positive attitude and smile were key factors in making any team he was associated with fun and successful.
Over the years, we continued to marvel at this gentle man who was always in good spirits. You could not help but feel better after spending a few minutes chatting with Craig.
Now, as the days draw on and seem emptier with Craig, remember that he will always be with you. So, when you are watching a softball or soccer game and feel a gentle breeze touch your face, rest assured that it will be Craig, once again smiling and letting you know that he is still there to love and encourage you.

Craig Pepin was such a nice and generous man and we feel honored to have known him. He loved South Windsor High School sports; he loved to help many sports teams (coach, scorekeeper, announcer, and referee). Craig was always someone who had a smile and friendly word for everyone. He was most encouraging to the many young people he worked with in sports. He was a friend to everyone he met. We will miss our neighbor and friend.

Craig will always hold a special place in my heart and will be missed dearly. We were close friends at UB and shared so many good times together....unfortunately we lost contact after graduation. I always hoped we would bump into each other someday and share a couple of beers reminiscing about old times, and sharing new memories of family and friends. Craig loved life and lived each day to the fullest.
May the thoughts and prayers of family and friends bring comfort to you in these moments of sorrow and may God bless you all.

I was deeply touched by your loved ones love and concern for others by warning them of the shooter. I know his sacrifice will bring honor to him here on earth and in heaven.

Dear Pepin Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad and difficult time.
I came to know Craig when he would come into the South Windsor Stop and Shop to get a few things before he went home.
He always stopped by my register to say hello or say something that was funny and we would both be laughing.
He was such a nice guy. I will miss seeing him.
God Bless Him.
May He Rest in Peace

To the Pepin Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I knew Craig for over 30 years since he befriended Walt and Ken as the young pups at HDI right out of high school. We played softball together, had 3 on 3 basketball games all the time at random houses taking on all comers...He was a great person and a "pain to cover on the court". I will cherish those memories forever. Please accept my families condolences. I will miss "Pep" forever but he will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

We're sorry he is gone.

To the Pepin family...All my thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to you and your entire extended family during this difficult time...I always look back fondly on my times growing up playing for South Windsor Little League, and Craig was a large part of those fond memories. He was a great mentor and coach to have played for and been around growing up, and he was a wonderful person off the field as well. I am so sorry for your loss.
