I met Craig in 1964, and shared some absolutely hilarious and wonderful experiences throughout the decades. We always had such fun. He was one of the most kind and generous guys I've ever known. Truly a too early and tragic loss this was.

I will never forget all the good times we had over the years. What made it so fun to be with you was your unpredictableness, but underneath that your kindness and true genorousity. I will miss you my friend. May you rest in peace.

Craig was always a bright spot at our Holiday Dinners. I learned of this horrible tragedy through Toni & Curt Hoyle. I am still in shock. It's going to be really sad to visit without having Craig there. My heart goes out to his family.
