Craig provided court security for our grand juries for many years. He was always great with the jurors and witnesses. He handled everything calmly and professionally. Most importantly, he was a good friend and a great humble person! You will be sorely missed my friend. Doug Cyr

Renee and family, You have my deepest sympathies. Craig will be missed by so many. I always knew my grandkids were safe before and after school. I will miss getting a text from him and maybe a picture of the kids at the bus stop. Rest easy my friend. God bless you and your family at this time.
