Craig A. Westergaard

November 23, 1963 - November 30, 2003

Craig passed away on November 30, 2003. He was a lifelong resident of Torrance and a graduate of West High School (class of 1981). His ever present smile and friendly, easy-going nature will be remembered by his many friends and family. Always willing to lend a hand to someone in need, he gave generously of his time and possessions. He was truly a genuine person with a big heart. Once you met Craig it was hard not to like him and he will truly be missed by those lucky enough to have known him. Craig was hard working, multi-talented and skilled in many trades. He took great pride in his work. His sense of humor and knack for telling a good story will be missed as will the entirety of this young man who was taken away from us all at the very young age of 40. Craig died of natural causes at his home in Torrance. God must have needed another good man in Heaven. Though knowing Craig he wouldn't want his family nor friends sitting around mourning but rather remembering the good times they shared over the years.

He is survived by his beloved parents, Gary and Pauline Westergaard; sister and brother-in-heart, Terry Omanson and Gregg Sanders; nephew Jason Omanson; and nieces Jessica and Tiffany Omanson; brother Jack Steele; and brother and sister-in-law Dan and Janet Westergaard; and nieces Meagan,Brenna and Madison Westergaard. Also his two dogs and four cats-who are surely missing his caring touch.

Visitation will be held on Monday, December 8, 2003 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm at the White and Day Colonial Mortuary, 901 W. Torrance Blvd., Redondo Beach, CA 90277. Services will be at the same location on Tuesday, December 9, 2003 at 2:00pm.
