To the Butz's- The world has lost a great guy. A loving husband, father and grandfather. A great neighbor and friend. We will miss our talks with him over the fence and Simon will miss his biscuits. We will miss all the great advice over the years and the sense of humor that only Craig had. He was always someone you could count when you needed him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you all very much. Love, the Gentiles
PS: "Get to work!"

So sorry to learn of Craig's passing. I worked with him for many years at Kodak. I always admired Craig for his sense of humor during 12 hour shifts and for his genuine friendship.
