Craig I don't know what to say.. you had a heart of gold you are the person that kept pump and pantry up and running!! 💙💐🙏🏽you were always greeting people with a smile. No one could tell if you were having a bad day. Vandalia misses you at the gas station not seeing your smiling face. He never knew a stranger at the gas station ever💙why does he always have to take the good ones so soon 💔 we just miss your smiling face and comical laugh🙏🏽💙💐you will never be forgotten in Vandalia I promise you that!

I met Craig while working at Mach 1. He was kind, wise, a great friend, brother and son. Craig was full of stories and a very hard worker! I will miss seeing him when I visit the store. My condolences to all family and friends. He will truly be missed. May he rest in peace.

I don't know where to start.. I remember the first time I met Craig, I had just started working at Mach 1. He would always tell me stories of when he was in the Military and his time in California. I will always remember the praying sessions that we had. Craig was the first person to find out what my son was, I got the call while we were working and I gave him the phone so he could write it down. We might not have been family by blood but he was always work Grandpa. There is one saying that I will never forget him always saying, " beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". I will cherish all our memories at Mach 1. Rest easy Craig.

Great guy. Always had a smile. I enjoyed having conversations with him a the service station. He was a hard, dedicated worker. One of the best, if not the best one at that service station in Vandalia. RIP my friend. Your battle is over. But, I am sure, you will have the victory.. Mike Eulberg
