Coach Miles, thank you for being a wonderful coach to your tennis teams at Montgomery High. i will always remember you and it was an honor to be on your team for 3 years. May you rest in peace.

Coach Miles, thank you for your dedication to the boys and girls tennis teams at Montgomery High. We miss your humor and kindness. I am glad you got to coach my little sister before you passed away and that I got to visit you at the same time during one of her games.

A friend and always a gentleman. I don't know what I would have done without you being there for me during my illness. I love you and you will always be in my heart. I am going to miss you terribly.  Hugs and Kisses. Bernadette

Craig,
I will miss dancing with you. You were a kind generous spirit.  Rest in peace.

Craig- I will miss your smile and cheerful hello everyday. I will miss you guarding the gate and keeping us safe. I will miss you giving me a hard time as you collect tickets at the games. You were a powerful, positive presence at MOH. You are greatly missed.

Craig, I'll miss your smile and positive attitude the most. I hope you like your new wings...you've always been an angel but now it's official.

I miss your bear hugs and your "Hello, stranger!"  Thank you for being a part of mine and my son's Montgomery life.  Rest in peace, smile down on us!

Thank you for all of your rose tutorials.  I'll remember the enthusiasm you had for kids and their sports.  You always had a valuable lesson or insight to share.  Hope to see you at the gate again.

Craig, you were such a wonderful gentleman, so kind and generous with your words and hugs. And, you took the time for the childrens' charities to deliver the Christmas gifts, Easter bunnies to the children in the hospital and to the abused children's home.  You were a prince of a man that I miss sorely.  I am so sorry that you left us too soon. And you always looked so handsome in your tux with the beautiful roses in the lapels that you grew!  They were beautiful like you.

Craig Miles was a man of many talents and always ready to teach whatever he knew.  His dedication to Montgomery High School and its students was truly extraordinary.  We were colleagues for many years, and he kept a smile through the good and the bad.  Rest in Peace, Craig.

Craig, 

It was fun chatting about everyday things with you. I miss your sense of humor, love of life, and kindness. Our school is not the same without you. I miss you, buddy.

Craig was a true friend.  He and I spoke to each other daily at school and shared stories about our adventures and pleasures in life.  He always gave me tickets to attend charity balls to benefit children hospitals and other causes.  We had plans to go to comic-con this year and I was looking forward to the upcoming charity balls and OTL.  I miss you bro. Prayers to you and your family.

Coach Miles, you touched so many lives.  The students are complaining about not having a daily weather report.  Who will guard the front gate?  I know you don't miss writing IEPs...We are continuing your Easter Rabbit tradition.  The roses will be forever yours.  We all miss you so much!

Mr. Miles,
Your SUHSD family will miss your joyful spirit, gleaming smile, and kind words. It won't be the same without you. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to what is good. We'll see you at that front gate. ;)

Craig, we had a lot of fun working together in Bill R's kitchen. You were always so pleasant. I'll miss you. I really am glad that we spent so much time together lobster fishing. Our conversations were so very interesting. Craig, I know you're scouting out some new fishing sites for us. I'll  always value your friendship and will never forget you. Auf Wiedersehen, good buddy.

Craig, You were the best classroom neighbor I could ask for because you tolerated our music and were always kind to my students. I will cherish your kindness and the special friendship we shared. Be at peace, Trish

Craig - Thank you for being a wonderful part of our lives. We will miss you skiing and at the Parade of Lights.  Requiescat in pace.

We had just re-connected  the past couple of years and it was so good to see you again.  Richard and I will miss seeing you at the concerts and at OTL.

Craig, the news of your passing is so very sad!  You were always such a pleasant, sweet gentlemen to speak to and your passing will be greatly missed!  God Speed!  Sharon

Craig, I could always count on you for a smile and a kind word.  (Even flirting, no matter how 'tired and worn, ridden hard and hung out to dry' I felt!) Thank you for 16 years of honest friendship. You will be missed.

Craig, I am glad we got to know each better in the last year. You gave me wonderful insight to the education system that you dedicated yourself. Our talks on philosophy and technology will stay with me. I will think of you when we show the next "Atlas Shrugged" movie night. You are missed.

Craig, how very sweet you always were! I will miss you and that terrific smile of yours. God bless you my dear friend.

Craig, you were handsome, witty, and full of life. This is such a shock to all of your friends, and you have many. You made a difference and you will be missed. RIP friend.

Craig, i didn't know you all that well, but what i know i liked very much.  You were always very gracious to me everytime we saw each other.  I will miss your positive presents at all of our functions.....Rest in Peace my Friend. 

Love Ya Craig,
Rick Nestor

My old buddy with a great laugh. Sorry that we lost track of each other so long ago. You were a good friend and shipmate.

A gentleman in every sense of the word. Always armed with a ready smile & welcoming hug for his many friends. Embracing life - you'd find Craig at the symphony; an art show; a Jimmy Buffett concert and lending his keen eye as a Judge at a beauty contest.  Will definitely miss boogeying with him on the dance floor! Feel blessed to have known him and to have shared many great times together.  Peace be with you, Craig.

You were always a welcome sight and I am saddened by your leaving. I will miss our talks and your gracious smile - not to mention the cards...Love
