Craig was a man of many talents and interests. He was an organist, worked with stained glass, finance, and other things that peaked his interest. He was always on the move with new rabbit holes to explore. He loved to travel.

He saw himself as an adventurer and especially enjoyed Scotland, the Netherlands and Alaska.

Craig was an avid supporter of many causes and charities. His loyalty, caring, kindness and generosity was experienced by his loving family and many friends.
