I worked with Craig in video loading next to his department I enjoyed talking to him and working with Craig. If he seen me first he would say to me good morning Yvonne and I would reply good morning Craig and give him a hug I miss hearing that good morning from him I remember when I came back to work after haveing back surgery if he seen me haveing a hard time lifting something he would stop doing what he was doing and give me a hand, I would say thank you so much Craig and he would say no problem Yvonne. I will miss working with him so much he was a pleasant person to work with. I want to give you my deepest sympathy to all his family. May God be with you at this time and always,
