I worked with Craig at Mulvane USD 263 as both a teacher and an assistant principal/athletic director. He was a gem to know and I could always count on him to do the job at hand. With our every day chats, I always admired how he shared his truth and his viewpoints on the daily life of a custodian. He was a true survivor and he always reminded me to be grateful for each day.

My condolences to all of his family who loved him and will miss him. May your memories bring you comfort and joy.
