Sad to hear of Craig's passing. I went to Lincoln school with Alan and my brother John was in Craig's grade. Glad to hear he got saved. I got saved at the First Church of God in Benton on September 23, 1973 at the same time and altar rail as Ray Minor. Sad to hear also about Todd Garner as well.
William Baker, formerly of Benton. I became a farmer in Iowa. But I remember the Lincoln school holiday times. Drawing, coloring. Glad to see Alan is a pastor. I've done my share of preaching.

I am heartbroken to hear of Craig´s passing and send prayers as well as heartfelt condolences to his family!

Craig was a special person and I truly love him and all the memories I have of him! I will never forget the moment we first met, not knowing who each other was, it was magical! Paper airplanes, 4th of July fireworks displays he made himself and the tenderness of his heart!

Until we meet again my friend!

I am so sorry to hear of Craig´s passing. I sat by Craig in Mr. Franklin´s class. He was the class clown. He had a Great smile and contagious laugh. Certainly made class more enjoyable. He will be missed! I pray for comfort for the Family in this difficult time. God Bless! Shay (Craig) Richey
