So Sad to hear about this news. Billy was my third baseman on SHASS for close to 10 years. There was nobody that I would trust more than Billy on my right side. You were a Great Teammate and a Great Friend and One Heck of a Ballplayer. RIP in Peace My Brother

Craig will be missed here with the Ashley/Stonledge family. We will miss his presence, his jokes and his conversations. Avid sports fan coworker and friend. Rest in peace Craig. I know you're wearing your Dodger blue in heaven. Bless you and your family.

I was just thinking about him last week. Praying for you all and so very sad about your loss. He was always so kind to me at CSAA in Elk Grove.

Billy Craig, My Brother...
Most will not know me or possibly even remember the times we shared back in the early '80's. We laughed til we cried. Partied like maniacs. Fought side by side. We made it out the other side... at least for a while.
I loved you and respected you no matter how much time past between our meetings. You were a Brother then and I consider you a Brother now.
RIP in Gods Grasp...

I'm glad to have had the opportunity to meet you Craig. Over the past few years we've become friends as well as coworkers. The jokes we would tell each other would make the days funner and a whole lot more interesting. I take comfort in having good memories of you to reflect on. My family and I enjoyed having you over for football and dinners and we will all miss you very much. Junnie says"hayyyyyyy Craig!!!!!! "
love you man, rest in piece my friend.

Craig, I will miss you dearly. Craig has been sitting on my left for the past 2 years at work. I remember all his silly jokes and I cannot count how many times I had to say CRAIG. He was a staple here at the Ashley whse and I know every single person here will miss Craig. Everytime I wear Dodge blue. I will remember Craig. Go Dodgers.

I'm so grateful I got to see him after so long. I thought, like others, we had more time. His hug said he would never let go... neither will we.
We wish you peace, my friend.

Words cannot express the sadness that Hank and I feel when we got word last evening of Craigs passing! The shock has not set in! Craig and Hank go back to Elementary school and have so many great memories growing up together, playing sports together and marched in many bands together playing their trumpet in school! The day I met Hank, Craig was there and we never lost touch even attending each others weddings! My girls Christina, Cynthia and Angela cried last evening when we broke the news of their "Uncle Craig" passing! Hanks dad Sid Almanza gave him the name "Brother Craig" and loved him very much! With tears in my eyes writing this memory of Craig, I can say that Hank and I will miss him very much! God Bless you friend!
