March 28, 2020 at 10:43 amI first knew Craig as the little brother tag-along to his big-brother Bob on our hunting trips. In time , he developed into a highly skilled and successful woodsman and hunter. In addition, he led the effort to remodel the hunting cabin with his skills in carpentry. He also attained recognition in his job as a Lansing Firefighter when he was appointed Battalion Chief. We will all miss his companionship and sense of humor over the years. He left a lot of good memories for all of us! May he Rest In Peace.

April 11, 2020 at 4:15 pmI would suppose you, Bob, and Keith are now sitting around your bear hunting tent smoking your nasty “Orkin” cigars. Such stories I. Outdoor tell of the three of you.
As the saying goes: Times change and we with times, but not in the ways of friendship”. You were always a friend, and will sadly missed.
