I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Craig. One thing all of us were fortunate to have growing up in Gower together was…..how genuine the people were in that town at that time of our lives. Craig was a good friend. He will always will hold great memories for me. I will continue to share those memories with others as long as I’m alive on this earth. RIP my friend. Until we meet again.

I always enjoyed visiting with Craig. I had a very enjoyable conversation with him back in February. Craig was always upbeat. He will be missed.

Larry,
I’m so sorry to hear about Craig. My heart and prayers go out to your entire family, especially Owen. I remember how much Craig enjoyed going out to our farm when Dad was still alive and talking with all the guys that hung out there at the shop around lunchtime, usually trying to outdo each others stories. I know he will be missed.

I haven’t seen Craig in years, but have fond memories of Craig and Kelli playing with my children, Nannette, Suzette, Robin and Robert since they were around the same age. The families would all get together either at Janet and Larry’s or my house. We would go on picnics and wiener roast

My deepest sympathy to Craig’s family. He was a kind person who taught me a different way of looking at many things. He had such a great sense of humor which I am really going to miss.

So so sad to hear about Craig’s passing. We used to visit often with Craig’s mom and dad Larry and Janet. We have known him since he was a little guy. He grew up and suddenly he was our garage door guy! He was always someone we could count on to be knowledgeable and fair. Our entire family has relied on him many times over the years. I have always appreciated his honesty whether the news was good or bad. You were always sure it was correct. He will be truly missed. Rest In Peace our friend.

Craig was such a great friend, he would do anything to help a friend. He was a hard worker and made a lot of friends over all the years in his business. He will be greatly missed by many.

Classmates with Craig Junior High and High School, Awesome man! I was just thinking of him last week. In HS he had that Black Pontiac Firebird Trans-AM and I had a White Firebird Formula. We always joked about racing, but instead we just let each other drive the others car once… Could easily tell that the Trans-AM would have beat my car.
Rest in Peace Brother~
