So sad to hear of Craig's passing. We were good friends especially in elementary school. I became a physical education teacher through the influence of Craig's father. My sympathies to the family especially to Craig's mother Gloria.

Deeply saddened to learn of Craig's passing. A good friend, classmate and teammate from our days at OJR. I can still picture the slick fielding, left handed hitting first basemen slashing line drives to all fields and the fun we had back in the day. My sincere condolences to Craig's family.

You functioned from an honest platform, could always be trusted and your dry sense of humor was a delight.
It is rare to find someone so sincerely devoted to his family and convictions. You are a very rare breed.
You were very strong for many years as you held your head high, fighting an illness that could not be won and you did so with dignity.
May you now be at peace... My sincere condolences to your family.
You will be deeply missed but not forgotten.

You battled an insidious illness for decades with dignity and class; never portraying youself as a victim. Throughout the years your courage has been an inspiration that I have drawn on repeatedly. We created many fond memories together in Avalon. I'm so glad we were able to relive them recently. My condolences to your entire family. You will be missed my friend. -John Hall
