    I’ve had the sincere pleasure of knowing Craig for 31 years. I owe my career at Sitel to him. Such a wonderful person. He is gone too soon but is now cradled in the arms of God, our Father. May God give his dear wife, Anne, and all his loved ones strength and comfort during this time, and solace in knowing Craig’s health has been restored in heaven.

    May perpetual light shine upon him, Oh Lord, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.

    Your friend forever, Susie

    I have very fond memories of growing up near Craig as he was my oldest cousin. Going over to his house for family dinners, watching baseball and going to an occasional hockey game. He enjoyed stock cars and I remember going to his races and talking to him while he was working on one of his vehicles in the garage, even taking my vehicle to him for servicing when he owned a body shop. He loved to laugh and joke around, even sending me funny memes and jokes in the past few years as we reconnected on Facebook. He’s been promoted to his final resting place where there is no more suffering, pain or disease. May our Lord care for his family and give you peace and joy as you celebrate his life and impact!
