To Craig's Family:

I just found out that Craig passed. I apologize for this late entry and please accept my condolences and best wishes for the family.

I knew Craig while he was taking classes that I tought at Northwestern. You should know that Craig made an impact on me as well as his classmates for his passion for his family and for his faith in Christ. He was a diligent student and had much to offer the class. Also, we had a number of conversations about sharing our faith, standing for our beliefs and even restoring old cars. I'm sure he will be missed by many who knew him.


May God's peace and the assurance of seeing Craig again carry you through your loss.

Though we grieve the lost of your husband and dad, we know that he has been freed from his cancer and he is still alive in heaven. We look forward to the great reunion that will come. May God's peace and love surround you and may you know hope.
