Craig's children held a private Celebration of his Life at a neighborhood restaurant, on May 14th. It gave his family and many close friends an opportunity to visit and share their memories of him with one another. There was much laughter and far more smiles than tears which is the way Craig would have wanted it. As an older person I require quite a bit of help and he was always there for me, making it sound as though I were helping him, instead of the other way around. I miss him very much. He was a wonderful man who will never be forgotten by anyone who knew him. - Posted by: Grace MALLOY (Mother-in-law.) on: May 16, 2017

Words cannot convey how sorry I am for your family's loss Shelley. I shall always remember Craig's smile and laugh which he never failed to share when in his presence. He was a kind and thoughtful man who was always willing to help out in the community and was a person his family and friends could count on. The world lost a good man and I pray he rests in peace and your family finds some small comfort in knowing he touched so many lives in such a positive way. All my love, Catherine - Posted by: Catherine Keating (Friend, neighbor, brother-in-law to my sister) on: Mar 11, 2017

Dear Shelley and family. I was so sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I have such fond memories of his "antics" while we all attended Sisler. He was the ultimate Minister of Silly Walks, and our own personal John Cleese. His good natured humor cheered me on many occasions and made high school a much better place to be. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories of your life together. Rest easy in the arms of the angels, your work down here is done. - Posted by: Kathy Ewatski-Foret (former classmate) on: Mar 11, 2017

Craig was a friend, classmate as well as a teammate. I will always remember throwing a touchdown pass to Craig at Northwood CC. Craig was my center and the coach had installed a special play for Craig to snap the ball cross the goal line turn and drop to his knee as the ball was already on it's way into his hands and belly for the touchdown! I think I can speak for all of Craig's former teammates by saying we will miss you but we will never forget all the great times we enjoyed together! We are so sad for your loss!
