Craig, I was worried about you since I hadn’t heard from you in several days and thought I would check to see if you’re alright. I stumbled upon the terrible news of your passing. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this. You have been my friend since 2003 when we both worked as Contract Engineers at United Defense/BAE in Minneapolis. I enjoyed the thousands of emails that you sent me over the years and will miss your insight on computers, politics, relationships, etc. You will always be missed. Rest in peace my friend!!! Your friend, Peter Dougherty.
I don’t remember the last time when visiting with my father that your name hasn’t come up. Prayers to family and friends during this very difficult and tragic time. RIP

I worked with Craig at several companies. Wherever it was, I was always amazed how quickly Craig made new friends. You couldn’t walk anywhere with Craig without a dozen people saying Hi along the way. He was always smiling. Rest in peace, my friend.
First, my sympathy to the family and friends of Craig. I remember him in good ways. Around 30 years ago Craig had me do product photography of his creations at CBM tooling in Mt. Vernon, and I got to know him in that time. I still have those images, as what he made he saw as tools, I saw them as art, and thus it gave insight into his creative mind. That’s how I remember him, as a creator and a fun spirit.
To Craig’s family, we just heard this sad event. Tom and I had just been reminiscing about Craig a few years ago, and wondered where life had taken him. We are sure he was a blessing to everyone who’s life he touched…and it sounds like he touched many. Rest in peace, old friend. Tom and Teri StJohn
To Craig’s family, my condolences. He has touched so many lives in so many different ways. I had wondered these past few days if something had gone wrong with email. We had many a good times when we were together out for a few drinks or on the golf course. It was a pleasure to know you my friend. May you REST IN PEACE. Richard
