To the family of Craig,
I just learned of his passing today and wanted to extend my deepest sympathy during this time of bereavement. Craig has been working on my appliances for the past 20 years and I have always admired his character. He will be sorely missed. He always had time for conversation and our last conversation, we talked about GOD. The only solace is that he is no longer suffering (something that makes me sad to think he had to go through) and that one day I will see him again. My prayers are with you.
