    So unbelievably hard to accept that someone we’ve known and loved since we were 17 is gone in such a tragic way. So many memories . . . cutting down the huge tree till we had a jungle in the backyard, making the “Elvis” gates so the kids could ride their big wheels, putting the gate between our yards so we could run back and forth in a second, playing games on Saturday nights while we listened for the kids on the phone, Mick & Craig playing a thousand games of quoits! Craig was a laid-back guy who loved the simple things in life. We knew him so well, but we never knew he would be such a fighter! Peace be with you now our dear, dear friend. We will miss you forever. All our love to Marci, Craig, Vernae & Brad, Curt & Sandra and his beloved grandkids.

    There are no words to express the heartbreak and sadness I feel over the loss of one of my dearest friends. 20+ years ago we became neighbors and then friends. He watched my children grow up and we shared so many memories over the years. Craig was a kind, laid back and gentle soul who loved his family with all his heart. I will miss him terribly, but it’s his humor I will miss most of all! All of my love to you Marcia, Craig, Vernae, Brad, Curt, Sandra and all the “little” ones. I wish you all, courage and strength in the days to come and peace in knowing he is no longer suffering.. Rest easy my friend, until we meet again….

    Dear Marci and family,
    I am so sorry for the loss of Craig. He was a great employee of my husband’s store, A&D Tile. He was a fun guy and a great installer and Angelo really cared about him. I know that my husband Angelo and my son Bo were at heaven’s gates to welcome him in. May God comfort you at this sad time for your family. Wendy DeFrancesca
