My heart breaks. Always a kind man.Will miss your post always put a smile on my face.RIP Craig.
Dear Linda…..So sorry for the family’s loss…..I feel so blessed to have reconnected with him and to have met you last summer. It was great to have been able to laugh and giggle over crazy things we did as kids and to fall right back into that easy friendship we shared way back when. He will always hold a special place in my heart. Know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in these difficult days…let all your fondest memories carry you through these days. God bless all of you.
I never got the chance to meet Craig in person but what I gathered from the many times we communicated , he was a great guy , a kind and wonderful person. He was a staple in our online community and he will be sorely missed by all of us. We will keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.
I went to high school with Craig and when I think of him then, I remember a crazy, but very nice guy. Remembering him back then brings a smile to my face. My condolences to his family.
