To Johanna and the entire Atkinson Family,
I am so saddened to hear about Uncle Craig´s passing today. He was such a loving wonderful man. I will never ever forget having ice cream cake for the first time at your house on his birthday as a little girl. To this day it´s my favorite cake just like his. You all are in my thoughts and prayer.
Love,
Jackie Daly

Johanna, to you and your daughters & their families, Craig was a lucky man. He lived every day with you Jo, devoted to him in every way. I was privileged to know you both since i was a young child. Talk to Craig, even now. He´s with you . Love you both. Mimi. & Tom Schaaff

My sympathies to the Atkinson family. I had the pleasure of seeing both Johanna and Craig on my recent visit to New Jersey. Craig was the "hunk" in high school and Johanna stole his heart. They have been blessed with years together and children and grandchildren. May he rest in peace. Old friend, Rhona Kalinsky O'Hara
