Craig was such an inspiration. I had the privilege of being his pastor for 10 years. He would frequently hit me up with very thoughtful biblical questions. I could tell he had been reading his Bible and growing spiritually. He was a kind man and I will miss him!
Craig, you were a wonderful uncle and great uncle. I’’m thankful for the memories we could share with our times together. Love you ❤️
