Eva,Greg,Alex and Dana- In loving memory of a wonderful person. Anyone that knew Craig was touched by his kindness. He wil be greatly missed by all of us.

We've known Craig for 39 years. During those years I don't know if I've ever seen Craig angry.
He had such a vibrant outlook on life, a competitive spirit, dedicated to his life and his family. That was evident the moment you met him. From playing softball together, street hockey, ice hockey, golfing, fishing and even just
playing guitars together, he was a big influence on my life and the lives of my family. There are many things we
would not have experienced had it not been for Craig and Eva. Craig was a true friend. One that we will surely
miss. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Eva, the boys, and all of Craig's family.

Love,
Sam and Gail Pettit

Our hearts are so heavy for you and your family, Eva. Losing your spouse, the father of your children and grandchildren is such a difficult thing to bear and I just needed once again to tell you how very sorry Randy and I were to hear this news. In the days and weeks that come, may you remember the poem, "Footprints in the Sand" and know that when the burden is too difficult to carry on your own, let yourself be carried until you are able to walk on your own again. Sending a comforting hug to you and your family because I know Craig was a good husband, father, grandfather and friend to many and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

I'm sorry to hear of your passing old friend. Craig and I worked together on several projects and I could always count on him to do a good job. He was a first class piping designer and very conscientious. The last project we worked on was El Segundo, and I was sealing drawings outside of the office. One time I received a batch of drawings that was not up to par, and I knew immediately that Craig had not reviewed them.

March 29, 2013

Craig was a great person which became evident just by working with him. He had qualities that made it apparent that he loved his work and the people that engaged with him. He passing is a huge loss to the people he worked with

I worked with Craig on many challenging domestic and international projects over the past 7 years. He was a true expert in his field. He was always willing to help. He loved his work. He was always available to answer questions even when he was overwhelmed with his own work. He always made a rough situation better with his easy going attitude and humor. His conversations would often turn to his house in Ocean City, his love of fishing, his family, his wife, his sons, and his grandson. Recently, he was especially proud of learning how to make the perfect poached egg. The office will not be the same without him. I will miss him.

I've worked very closely with Craig the last couple of years. As a junior designer he shared his wealth of knowledge with me. I will always remember Craig as an excellent and dedicated designer, a great friend, and someone who could always brighten your day! You will be missed and never forgotten.

Craig was one of the best friends that I ever had. We worked together daily for most of the last 15 years proudly designing great power plants. He was the best friend, person, designer, and worker. I will miss him dearly.
