Guestbook
Craig was one of my closest friends so long ago. He and I shared in so many incredible times in our early adult lives that have impacted me greatly since. I reflect back on those times often and think fondly of this incredible guy. His mind for all things mechanical, electrical and beyond simply amazed me. His personality and heart was one of a kind and I am sad to know he is gone. I wish I could have known about his visitation and funeral arrangements. God bless those he left behind that are closest to him; God bless Craig.
Craig’s Family, my deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of Craig. I was Craig’s first grade teacher. Craig was such a happy boy, with a big smile and full of energy. I hang the Christmas penguin ornament, that Craig gave me, on our tree every year. The ornament is very special to me and I think of Craig each year, as it is hung on the tree.
May our Lord and Savior give you peace. Sincerely, Julene(Micke)Johnson
My thoughts & prayers go out to his family…
