A departure so sudden, the loss acute. A fine man has become an Angel and has now joined his good friend Keith, and has recently been joined by their good friend Jimmie. Oh, the times they will have remembering their golf games, the great times we had in the Dominican and all the times we shared in Hilton Head for so many wonderful years. We’re remembering the games of Catch Phrase as we waited for Craig to come up with the answer before the buzzer went off, the game of Quarters that he taught us…I still have my quarters from that game! Why? Because I couldn’t part with what symbolized such a sweet evening spent with such good friends, full of laughter and loving the closeness we all shared. Oh Kim, we are so very sorry for your profound loss. Craig was such a special man, with a tender heart for everyone he knew. He was so giving of his time and talents. I can still hear his voice as he would relate a funny story or joke. We will remember wonderful New Year’s parties and his gracious hospitality. You and he created such a loving , welcoming home together, filled with his skilled additions and your creativity. He has left all of us with a part of himself. He will be missed by many. May God bless you and your family as you journey through this challenge. With our love and deepest sympathies, Gary and Lexie

Sweet Kim. So many memories of Craig. We so enjoyed all our time with you both. I am comforted that Craig and Keith are sharing Bud Lights in heaven and remember their Bud Light Moments after a day working together and helping so many in Cedar Creek. We shared so many memories with our trips to Hilton Head. A wonderful kind man you had to share so much. Deb Campbell

Something I will always remember is how kind and energetic Craig was! I just moved in next door to Craig & Kim last June. He was always telling me if I needed anything, just ask! And I did! From a tree service guy to a lawn sprinkler guy to helping me bring in a boxed mattress from my car. Craig was always there. He loved my little dog too! Every time Squirt saw Craig, he would run over to him and Craig would pick him up and exclaim .. What a fine little dog! I am so grateful to have met such a kind, good man!

Dad, If I could tell you one thing now that you're no longer with us, it would be how much you meant to me and how deeply I appreciate everything you did for our family. Your presence in my life was a source of strength, wisdom, and love that shaped me into the person I am today. I cherish the memories we shared, the lessons you taught me, and the laughter we enjoyed together. Your guidance, your kindness, and your unwavering support will always be a part of me, guiding me through life's challenges and triumphs. I miss you more than words can express, but I find solace in knowing that your love surrounds me, even in your absence. You will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I will carry your legacy with me always. Thank you for being the best dad a child could ask for. I will continue to honor your memory by living a life that reflects the values you instilled in me. Until we meet again, know that you are loved, cherished, and deeply missed. With all my love, Mb

My close friend, David, broke his leg on the golf course. Craig immediately asked if there was anything he could do to help or that David needed. Craig installed a handicapped handrail for David and helped me assemble a shower chair. Craig was the first to visit David when he got home from the hospital. He came with a six-pack to celebrate his friend coming home. I only knew him a year, and what an exceptionally wonderful person he was. I will miss him and David will miss him that much more. God bless Craig in heaven. Dominique

Craig was a selfless, hardworking, wonderful man. I will always remember all the help he gave me, most memorably during the 2014 ice storm.
