I'm so sorry to hear of Craig's passing. We would always chat when he would come to stock at the Mount Pocono. Our interactions were generally brief, but we actually had a nice long conversation about two weeks ago. He was such a kind, genuine person. I'll miss seeing him around. Condolences to his family. Our last conversation was about our families, and I know he loved you all deeply!

Sorry to hear of Craig's passing, I was a sales rep for Russell Stover Candies years ago and would bump into him from time to time in the stores. Always a pleasure to see and talk with him. May he Rip.

I knew Craig as a fellow sales rep calling on grocery stores. A real go getter and would spend some time to catch up and ask about your family. He was very proud of his wife and daughters. My sympathies to you and your family. He will be missed by all the friends he made out in the field. Dale Behler
