I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of one of my best high school friends, “The Crab”. You will be missed. Best wishes to your family. Love you, your friend Dave
so sorry for your loss Craig and I were good friends back in the day. praying for all.
Craig was a fixture here at the U.S. Geological Survey for many years. Many of us remember the friendly banter he’d have with us as we’d come in at the beginning of our workday or at the end. Our sympathies to Craig’s family on your loss.
I enjoyed his jokes when he stopped in Martin’s. I’ll miss seeing him. Condolences to the family.
Craig was always a friendly face when I came in to work at the USGS. He was kind and gracious and always had a nice word for everyone. He was dearly missed when he retired. This is a huge lose. My prayers and thoughts to Craig’s family.
So sorry to hear about Craig. He was a fun person and a good friend in school. I would see him in Front Royal over the years and we would pick back up with where the conversation left off. He was a good friend !!!
