I shall never forget your face Craig, it was such a comfort to see you when we returned from our cruise earlier this year, you truly looked like an angel standing there, and now you are one. To the family we send our love and condolences to all. God Bless you all.
We have fond memories of this wonderful man.

Creigh and I were close friends and playmates all through our childhood. We had special visits in each other’s homes for several days at a time when we were small children, usually in the summer. He was a sweet and rather timid little boy and we had great times playing together. Happy memories.
Sharon and Family,
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Creigh may be gone from this life – yet he lives on in a much higher place. He experienced life his way – and although others may not have chosen the same path, it was his and he loved it.
Creigh my brother-in-law and I once had our differences – it was true. Yet we loved each other and he was always there for me, and the mother Sharon & I shared. He was so very generous with anything that would help family.
I think my fondest memory of many, is a time that he came to Oregon to visit my husband and me. We were on the Oregon coast near Florence and had a campsite set up nearby. Sharon Lorraine & Creigh came to visit. We decided to go for a ‘mini-hike’. There was a forest of trees, both standing and fallen, between the campsite and the dunes leading to the beach. My husband and I, as well as our dogs, were used to outdoor romps and hikes. We started on an impromptu visit of the local terrain. We traversed logs and trails and jumped over rocks and such when we noticed Creigh was less then thrilled about our progress. He was ready to sit, drink a beer and ‘hang out’. Unfortunately, we were far from the campsite at the time. Beyond that, we got to a place where we had to go further out of our way to successfully traverse a way back. Creigh was a very unhappy camper – tired, no cigarettes, no beer and wanted a car to come pick him up – oops, not possible. One thing he was good at – sharing his impatience or displeasure! The event took several hours and was great fun – much more so for Creigh once we got back. He sat down, opened his beer, smoked his cigarette and then had a better perspective of the whole afternoon! I’ll bet he even came to have a pretty good memory of that day!
He’ll be missed by all – and yet I know – not forgotten. Sharon & Candis – please know that my thoughts & prayers have been with you and him during this last week. I know he was loved.
Love & Blessings
Chris
