 Craig was a customer of mine and I so enjoyed our conversations.   He was always checking in on me and telling me about his life adventures.   I loved when he would come in to the office in his sweaters in the 90 degree weather in Arizona and tell me that he bought several more.   He knew how to make me laugh.   He is now with his wife again.  You will be missed.

We are extremely saddened to learn of Craig's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Craig's family and friends.

Craig has been our friend for the past 30 years. My husband Robert and I  have fond memories of dinners, movies, and holidays shared with Craig and his late wife Beverly, and especially will cherish memories of weekly X-Files gatherings in one another's homes.

Craig's witty conversation, quirky sense of humor, generosity and unique presence will be missed.

        I shall miss our email and phone conversations and the times when you and my sister Bev came to visit Mom and me in California and then after Bev's passing, your continued annual vacation visits.  You and I  went to some great restaurants and had some wonderful  times over at the coast revisiting places you and Bev had enjoyed.
         I enjoyed our political email conversations and the weird topics we both enjoyed like programs on UFO's and on Bigfoot. 
         I know you had a really hard time, after Bev's passing, settling into a new permanent home as evidenced by your moving back and forth between Tucson and Fort Wayne several times. I hope you and Bev are now reunited in the afterlife and can have many more adventures together. Rest in peace.
          Love from your Sister-in-Law, 
          Diana Hume

Craig was a writer, educator, and counseling psychologist with graduate degrees in Science and English teaching. An Army veteran (meteorologist at White Sands Missile Range) and Mensa member, he published two novels, was published in several magazines, enjoyed desert hiking, and resided in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and Arizona. He is preceded in death by his beloved English professor wife, Bev. He will be missed by his friends and neighbors.

My condolences to the family. Craig was a great guy and I have lots of memories growing up with him. Lots of baseball games and camping adventures at his folks place. Rest in peace.
