I met Craig at sandhills teen challenge in 2006.   I never would have made it to sobriety without his help and guidance.  I'll miss you my friend.   Thank you so so much for everything.

My condolences to Craig's family. Craig was my co- worker, roommate and best friend at Teen Challenge. He spent many afternoons teaching me to play tennis and shared so much wisdom with me. 

Though I know that I will miss him, I thank God for the opportunity to know him.

I wish to send my sympathies to Craig's family. I worked side by side with Craig in the special events division at the Teen Challenge Training Center in PA for over 2 years. We both served a number of years in the ministry.

Craig and I shared similar backgrounds as my parents were also from Oklahoma. We were fast friends and we enjoyed each other's company. I was 10 years his junior and thought of him as an older brother I never had.

Craig was kind and thoughtful and always encouraging to me. He loved his job and gave of himself in his work. Many times he went out of his way to show his kindness to others. I loved Craig very much.

Craig and I had kept in touch. I called him for some advice 5 days before he passed. He said I needed a break and invited me up from Myrtle Beach for few days of golf and fellowship. That was Craig. He sensed I was stressed out and needed to get away. 

More importantly, I know God had arranged that conversation to take place as Craig gave me some critical advice that I followed in some life decisions. I was ready to go the wrong way and God spoke to me through Craig and set me on the right path. 

I will never forget this last conversation. I will never forget the impact Craig had on my life. I will miss him a lot and I will always remember the trip I never got to take.

To Craig's family, we send our sympathy.  Craig touched many at Heritage through golf, friends and neighbors.  He was such a nice, friendly free spirit and that is what I will remember and treasure.  I am so very thankful I met him and could call him my friend.  May he rest in peace and be eternally comforted in knowing he had many new friends in Heritage who cared very much for him and still do.  Ann Sisk

I wish to send my sympathies to the family of Craig. I worked closely with Craig at Teen Challenge Training Center. My husband and I loved Craig very much. He will always have a special place in our hearts and minds. We are thankful for his life and memory. A little funny thing, but appreciated.... he always kept me supplied with Jelly Bellys for my desk.... I missed that when he left.... when he visited last September, he bought me another good supply. He was very thoughtful that way......
We will miss him, but we know where he is.... and we thank God for that.
Darlene and Al Pundt
