Craig was such a funny guy to be around. He used to eat lunch with us when he worked in the State Office and he kept us going. He will be missed by all.

Pat, I am so sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I worked with and for Craig for many years. I admired his work ethic. He never ask anyone to do anything that he was not willing to do himself. You may remember that Bob and I were the ones that hosted the annual Volleyball Pincic.

To Pat and the Irwin Family
I worked with Craig and he will be missed by many; he cared about and helped people. He was our driving force at TEMA for the yearly toy drive which provided Christmas joy for children that may not have had a present without him. May the Lord comfort you in this time of sorrow. You are in our prayers David Iwao and family.
