I am very sorry my condolences come so late. Gary, please accept my sympathy for your loss. Craig and I knew each other all through school, from 1st grade through 12th. He was kind, thoughtful and sweet. Even as a young kid his love for, and knowledge of, boats and boating were memorable. I hope he rests in peace, and I look forward to seeing him again in a better place.

My wife and I just learned and saddened of Craig's unexpected passing. Not only was Craig a customer of ours, but we considered him more of a friend. Craig was a wonderful caring person and he will be truly missed.

Dear Gary,
Tom and I just learned of Craig's passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. We met Craig about 12 years ago through the chocolate chip cookies he and the office would make and then send Duncan to the boat shows We only physically met Craig once or twice. He drove all the way to Maryland one year for our company Christmas party. It was finally so nice to meet the face behind the voice. Craig helped our business in many ways. I always enjoyed our telephone conversations. When he sold the business we did not interact as much but would receive that occasional call from Craig checking in. We would share stories of recent car purchases, what was on the dinner menu for the night and most of the the stories of our children. His German Sheppard children were his passion, so I will make sure we make a contribution to the rescue fund. Please know that if we would have known last week we surely would have made the drive there to give our respects. Yours Truly, Lisa &Tom

Please accept my sincere condolences for Craig's family and associates. Craig was a good man, quiet, private, strongly loyal to family, and he loved dogs - German Shepherds in particular!
He was kind, generous, and extremely hospitable. From conversations we had during our friendship, he was a hard worker and never expected anything from anyone that he wouldn't expect from himself, oftentimes putting his employees before himself when economic times were tight.
While we lost touch over the past few years, our last telephone conversation was a couple years ago, when we needed to put our dog to sleep due to illness. Craig was extremely supportive of our previous efforts to treat our pet, and of our decision to give up when treatment wasn't helping.
I will always have warm, happy memories of Craig, and will miss the chance at rekindling our friendship. I am truly sad!

With unexpected suddenness death has come to Craig. The shock of his passing is visibly and profoundly felt by those with whom he had contact including Rich and I. I have known Craig as long as my brother Steve has known him. And Rich, although he knew Craig for a shorter time, is equally as sad as I am at this moment. We will always remember Craig's love for dogs and cooking, his points of view, and friendliness. Our deepest condolences are extended to Gary and all that will miss him.
Good Friends
Sue and Rich Pestritto

Gary,
I keep thinking about when I first met Craig. He was in the first grade and I was on the 6th grade Safety Patrol at Valley Crest Elementary School. He was so blond with the bluest eyes! Gary, you're in my thoughts, and I'm so deeply sorry for your loss!

Craig was a high school classmate of mine and a colleague of my wife's at Glover.
My memories of Craig include his passion for hi-fi stereo's (he came to my house to hook up my stereo to our TV antenna on the chimney!
My wife met Craig at Glover - and he was quick to see if she had any connection to me.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

I worked for Craig for 4 years and in that time came to know him as a kind, caring and honest man. He was one of the most down to earth people I've known, and his devotion to his friends, family, and beloved dogs was admirable. He often had a funny story or recipe to share with my coworkers and I, and he will be sincerely missed by all of us. I'm glad I had the pleasure to know Craig. My deepest condolences to Gary and to Craig's many friends.
