A mutual friend informed me of your loss. Know that Craig touched many lives through the years. Although I have not seen him since school at Lathrop, just seeing his smile in the obituary brought back a flood of good memories. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

How sad to hear of the loss of one of my lifelong friends. Last time I spoke to Craig, we chuckled over antics we'd pulled at age 6. His spirit and creativity will be greatly missed. Love to his family.

Such a tragic loss. Although I hadn't had the pleasure of speaking with Craig for quite few years, I will always remember him as I knew him at the Elks Lodge here in Fairbanks. My condolences to Ken, Bev and Cindy.
