I will always remember the "cinder-block incident" at Kermit's cook-out.

I am wishing I lived closer,feeling so far away and wanting to connect with all who knew Craig. I'd love to hear all the Craig stories that are only told afterward.

I am a cousin and have known Craig since we were both very little. It was always a treat to go visit Craig; I remember he had lots of Mad Magazines and all the Dr. Seuss books! He and I had many adventures together in the country at our grandparents' home. I think of Craig as a special, sensitive man, talented, intense, private, and devoted to his mother, Virginia. He will be greatly missed.

Craig, God bless you and I will miss you. You were so great to work with during our years together at Target Mktg. I still have my Xmas photo of you and Tony with Santa Claus. You were a great friend, comic, and fellow Aquarian. We will miss you dearly. Ginny, much love and good wishes to you and "little Craig". Cary Ballou

It seems like yesterday we were at Kermit's house having a cookout even though it was more like 8 or 9 years ago. I didn't realize that would be the last time I would ever see you.

Going out to hear the band was always on our "to do" list when I lived in Richmond.

The stars just don't look quite so bright now.

Dear Mrs. Thompson,

I remember Craig from first grade when we were both in Mrs. Reynolds's class. He was one of the nicest boys...and such a good student, too. Pam told me the sad news. I am so sorry.

Seems like yesterday I met you when we were at ODU. Ending up in the same musical family after that was even more special. Glad you filled in for us at the L'amour reunuion a few years ago. Thanks, sweet man. It was great. See you someday and say hi to Leigh and the others for us.

Hey my brother,

It's mighty quiet without you around. I miss you with all my heart and I'll never listen to rock & roll again without thinking about you.

Tell Johnny, Kurt, Elvis, Sid & all the rest hello for me.

We'll be seeing each other again. I have no doubt about that at all.

Love ya,

Dug
