West Bloomfield, 
died Aug. 17,

He loved his family and 
friends fiercely. He was a 
good, honest, loyal, devoted 
and loving husband, father, 
son, brother, nephew, uncle 
and friend. 
An avid bicyclist, Craig 
was known for the pleasure 
he took in being outdoors 
on the trails often with those 
close friends who shared his 
passion. He had a lifelong 
love of learning, cooking, 
gardening and travel; but 
what gave him the greatest 
fulfillment was caring for 
friends, family and those that 
he loved. Nothing was more 
important to him than his 
family. For all those whose 
lives he touched, he will be 
forever loved and missed.
