Craig was a great freind. We grew up playing hockey together. He was very good. It is sad he passed away.
We spent a lot of time together. Hockey 5 to 6 months a year. In the summer going to , Coeur d Alene, hiking camping and spending time outdoors.

Dear Mrs. Shaw and family. I am very sorry to hear about Craig. I remember growing up with your family at the ice rink and remember Craig from football when I was coaching at Prep. He´s in a great place now, being reunited with his dad and brothers. You are in my prayers.

Very sad to hear of Craigs passing. Having attended Gradeschool, junior high and high school with Craig, I think I can say for many if not all that Craig was a kind soul, liked by all, and a very good athlete. I have many good memories of Craig. I have passed the word on of his passing. RIP Craig. Life is short and the good times are few and far between. Linwood school was a happy place for all.
