Craig was such a good guy, and endured much. John Olesen was a true friend during Craig's rough years.Sharon Kear (Hostetler)
I met Craig in homeroom. He was constantly teasing or joking around. If we had classes together and sat in alphabetical order, we sat near each other. He sat across the aisle from me in study hall, and I always knew he was the one who kept putting thumb tacks on my seat. He always denied it, but he laughed too hard when I would jump up with a yelp.
