So very sorry to hear of Craig's passing. My thoughts and prayers for comfort go out to his family. He definitely enjoyed life to the fullest. God bless.

Craig was like the little brother I never had.  Here we are with our train sets merged in 1960.   Bless him.  The service is ongoing as I write.  My heart is with the family.

I am thankful I got to meet Craig, I loved the way he had a twinkle in his eye and love for Karen and his family.

The sadness I feel at Craig being gone is vastly out weighed by the awareness of the incredible blessing it was to have known him as long as I did.  Not a prefect man but outstanding in so many ways. Mostly he was about as perfect a friend as could be asked for.  His humor and ability to connect with all kinds of people will stay with me the rest of my days. So many times, all he had to go on was faith. That inspires me regularly as well. Thank you my friend.

The Nelsons were the finest neighbors a person could ever hope for. Craig was a little pesky for me, as there was about 11 years difference in age. Back in the day, I was somewhat more interested in his sisters! Loretta and Mom solved a heap of world problems over the fence while hanging out the laundry. I offer my sincere condolences to all at this time as I won't be able to travel for the service. May God bless and be with you all.  Bob Miller

So sorry to hear of Craig's passing. I will always have good memories of him from our younger years in Millwood.

Craig is a man I will never forget!  He had charisma that was bigger than life itself!  So sad to hear of his passing!  We will meet again!  I am sure that when Craig now speaks, even Jesus is rolling on the floor laughing!  My sincere condolences to his family and friends!
