Dear Pat,Shirley,Arnie,and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you today. I can not express how thankful I am for Craig and the influence had in the lives of all of my children. He was a friend, boss, counselor and encourage.He showed patience,kindness and generosity, but more importantly, he modeled his Christian beliefs and values in his daily life. His legacy will live on not only through his children, but through Ryan, Rick, Rob, Rusty, Ramona, and Meg as well. My prayer is for the Lord to embrace you all. Please know that we hold you constantly in our prayers.
