I believe there are people put in this world that make such a impression in your life that they will stay forever in your heart …. he was one of those people. Craig & his family played a huge role in my daughter Toris life she referred to him to the father figure she never had. Taking her on vacations year after year & other things too many to list. Words cannot express how sorry. I am for your loss My prayers are w/ your family & please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can ever do anything
