Tammy:
Dr. McCarthy and I just found out today....Needless to say, we are stunned and heart-broken. Doc was an amazing guy....credit to his country and community. I am grateful I had a couple of minutes to talk to him at City Market. May God bless you at this most difficult time in your life.

Tammy, know that Cathy and I loved Doc and we had so much fun over the years going back to well before car shows. He was a very special person and will never be forgotten by those that knew him. Thanks for the memories "Doc"

We add this note with a heavy heart. My husband, and I, met Doc for the first time at his classic car show this past May. When he saw me with my camera, he asked if I'd take pictures of the show. With his jovial face and spirit, how could I refuse. During the course of the day, we came to truly admire Doc; a man with a generous heart and deep love for all people. Our condolences and prayers of peace for Doc's wife Tammy, all of his family and friends.

Tammy, My Prayers and Heart goes out to You & Your Family. After 38 years together, I too lost my Husband at the age of 56. So, the age or years together does not matter to God, all that matters is that He needed him more up in Heaven! But, Kraig is and will always be Your Guardian Angel!

I will always remember Kraig as a funny, caring person who loved kids and joking with people. He also cared about his work and strived for the best job possible. We will all miss him but also remember him as a person of real value to the world. Betty and Bob Philbrook

Tammy, Kenlyn ,Kurt and Kris..and all your families. I met Craig when I was 10 years old. A most amazing and fun family. I lived down the road and spent as much time as possible with Kenlyn....she was my best friend back in the day. I have no words to make this better,,,for there are none. But I loved Kraigs laugh and sense of humor. And I admired how he took care of the family when his time to do came all too soon. I love all of you...I will never forget any of you. Tammy, may you find some comfort in knowing just how many peoples hearts he filled with warmth and kindness,,,you we're a lucky woman. RIP Dera Kraig ....RIP.....gone too soon.

Kraig will be missed so much. We were so glad to know Doc as a friend and neighbor for 18 years in Caledonia. Thank you Doc for putting on my daughters convertible top couple months ago, and fixing up our antique chair. Most fun we did was finishing that little 50 motorbike, and letting me ride it! We had a lot of laughs!! See you up in Heaven someday! Thanks for all you did for this world. Tammy, take care and call on us WHENEVER you need us!! We are her for you!

Tammy first of all, our love and prayers to you and the rest of the family. Oh boy the memories! Kraig was always my protector in school and if I needed anything he was there, just like a big brother would be. Doug had a good memory with water melons. We will let Kurt explain that little escapade. Kraig just always had a smile and a great big hug for you when you seen him. He will be missed so much!

I've know the Bryan family for many years. Elizabeth was one of the first people to stop by the day my mother passed at the age of 62. You just don't ever stop loving people like the Bryan family. My heart is sad for all of the family. I hope Kraig and Granny P are laughing together! He will be missed.

He was a great and caring person, didn't matter who you were or what you did, he would be there for you. One of things I will miss about him was his auctioneer routine and his hugs. His laughter and his smile was contagious, a friend like this is hard to find and hard to loose. love and miss you
