I am blessed to have known Malcolm. We met through mutual friends, and he was always there to help me. We met in upstate New York, and ironically, we were from the same town in New York City! It was always great to see Malcolm laughing!

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Craig family on the passing of Malcolm. I read his obituary in this mornings paper and though I havent seen Malcolm in many years I will never forget what a genuinely great person that he was. Friendly, adventurous, kind are just several words that I could use to describe him. Always with a big smile on his face, thats how I'll remember him.
May he rest in peace eternally, and forever in my prayers.

My deepest condolences. I worked with Malcolm many years ago at Thruway Pharmacy, when I was in high school. He made working in the pharmacy fun, and was one of the reasons I joined the profession. He will be missed.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.
I am the diamond glint
on newly fallen snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the soft and gentle autumn rain
When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft, starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
With sympathy and prayers.
