Sending care and sympathy to you and your family. Craig and I attended the same school for one year. (Eighth grade). He was a bright and caring young man. I am not surprised that he became a doctor. May God comfort you during these difficult days.

Craig was `joined at the hip´ to my brother, Wayne, during their growing up years. He was my "other brother" besides being a distant cousin. Losing a brother is devastating. My heartfelt sympathy to Craig´s family, and especially to Nikki and Amy.

Craig was good good friend to me in high school and college. He was very smart, funny, passionate about ideas and learning, and full of life. I hope his family will find some comfort in knowing that the world is a lot better because he was here. It was gift to know him.
