Our prayers and condolences go out to Craig's family and friends. I knew Craig in high school and the memories are some of the fondest. Just like everyone said, he was such a good guy with a big heart and a great sense of humor. My husband got to know him from Sullair and thought he was a great guy. He will truly be missed and greatly remembered.

I first met Hungry 3 years ago when I started at Sullair. Curious about his name, a few days later I walked over to him and said, "So Hungry, I have to ask, Do you have another name?". He said "Yeah....Starvin'".
Chad Finke left a message on January 30, 2009:
Although we went to Elston together for a year, I really only got to know Craig recently through our fantasy football league. But that was enough to allow me to echo resoundingly what so many have already said: consummate sportsman, generous buddy, and all around good soul. Hungry (or "Who Dat," as I'll always think of you), we'll miss you, man. Peace and condolences to the family and loved ones.
Mr. & Mrs. Chad Odle left a message on January 30, 2009:

Condolences to Craig's family at this very difficult time. We got to know Craig in his teenage years when his father whom he adored married his step-mother Patricia Phegley whom he quickly came to love and respect as well as the two new "sisters" and new "brother" he always so proudly introduced. The love he showed this new family always showed what a loving gentle person he was. May the lord hold them in his hand and be their strength at this time.

Dion Diakis left a message on January 29, 2009:
I was given the pleasure of knowing Craig for only a short time, but in the time I was able to get to know him, I knew him as a good-hearted man who was always willing to help or lend an ear. He will be sorely missed.

Patrick Steinhiser left a message on January 29, 2009:
I was lucky enough to experience the joy of being on the wrestling team with Craig. There were times when practice would be down right brutal, but you would always find Craig smiling. He was a true sportsman with a little bit if comedy relief on the side. Thank you Craig, for making life better for all of us. To Craig's family, please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My thoughts and prayers are with all who had the honor of knowing Craig. I knew Craig in High School and during Bruemmer's Sociology class, he and I were "married" and had 2 egg children. I knew he was a great soul and he will be deeply missed. May his memory bring you peace.

Craig will be greatly missed. Prayers to his family and fiancee. He was a great friend. I will always remember the one poker game we played together, if not for that game I would not have been able to bring my husband (Peter) home from Korea for a visit. Thanks Craig, will miss you.

Tom Dombkowski-Tommy D. left a message on January 28, 2009:
Wow out of all the tests we have in life I must say this is the hardest, saying good bye to a friend and someone who truly did have a heart of gold. 1972-2009 the dates are not as important as the dash in between this represents Craigs life which I was fortunate to know him since kindergarten. As life has many paths mine and Craigs did also. I went to college but once that ended Craig was there not only for friendship but also for a place to stay, he opened his door to many of his friends if you needed it Craig had it to give. He was my Dart Partner for many years including a second place finish at state. Softball teams, basketball teams if you needed Hungry he was there. From being in my wedding to the countless WWF matches we went to and of course the NSYNC concert, I say thanks for being there. Well we drifted in the past couple of years, but when you know someone for that long its hard not to remember all the times, the good,bad and ugly. To Amy, Dwayne, family and the countless number of friends I know Craig had I know he will be truly missed by all. Much love. Amy I didn't really know you but to capture Craigs heart and tie him down you TRULY had to be special and a blessing from God.

I remember when Craig was REALLY little and his mom brought him to Niemann School when she did recess duty. He was an adorable child and from the rest of the guest book entries, it sounds like he grew up to be a wonderful adult. Dewayne, my deepest sympathies.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Craig. I graduated from Elston with him. He and ibecame friends the end of my Jr. year and throughout our Sr. year. What a super great guy. I have super memories of he and I piling into my car at lunch and trying to "beat the clock" to go and get a cheeseburger in town. :-) Of course- I always teased him that he never picked up his trash. He was a great guy to confide in when I had guy trouble or even parent troubles. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family and especially his fiance. God bless you and may He confort you in this hard time.
