I love you, Dad, and I know that you love me. I never knew exactly how much until you had listed all my accomplishments in your speech at my first wedding. I could see the pride and love in your face. I will never forget that moment or any of the other moments we shared. Baseball games, golf outings, board games, or just watching TV--I've always enjoyed spending time with you. I would not have admitted it then, but I would always look for you while on the basketball court or the football field. I knew exactly where you were for every game, and I didn't feel like I could be at my best without knowing where you were. Two of my most memorable moments on the field both happened my senior year at Freeland High School. In the fall, I caught the winning touchdown pass on the last play of the game. After my coach, you were the first person I saw running across the field toward me. You gave me a big bear hug, jumping up and down screaming with shear joy. Then the following spring, on the baseball field I had the game winning hit to clinch the conference championship. As soon as I touched first base, you were there giving me the same bear hug and screaming with the same shear joy. You weren't the world's best Dad, but you were the best Dad we could have had. We love you, Dad, and we know that you love us.
My prayers go out to Craig’s family. He was such a gracious man and always enjoyed getting together at our house for meals. He truly loved his Lord.
I was shocked to hear the news of Craigs passings, from brother Scot. The loss was much too soon from a man I came to know as a great business man and a great father.
May he and Brian have great words with the Lord, may he Rest In Peace.

I knew Craig as a young boy through his aunt, my friend Nadene Grau, when we used to stay at Craig's home in the summer time. I have fond memories of going down to the Metro Parks with Craig and his brother Scott and walking across the small waterfall and just enjoying the summer days. It's obvious that he grew into a fine man. I just want to offer my condolences to his family.

I became friends with Craig when he became a member of our church in Saginaw Mi. He was a really great guy who was always willing to help whenever we needed a hand with church activities. We played pool in his living room, bowled, and shared many meals together that were filled with laughter. We kidded each other about his sports teams from Cleveland and minefrom Detroit. Needless to say, neither one of us had many bragging rights. I will miss him very much but I know and he knew that he would be with his Heavenly Father.
