I'm so very saddened to hear of Craig's death. We knew each other 40 years ago and recently re-connected and visited in Santa Fe. He was truly a prince of a man, and cared deeply for others, his work and his family. May he rest in peace, and sincere condolences to his family.

Oh, this is so sad to hear. Craig was a truly kind man, enthusiastic of life and was an amazing philosopher and out of the box thinker in leadership and systems thinking. I will sincerely miss his presence.

We are so sorry to hear of Craig's passing. He was our brother-in-law. He was married to our sister, Emily. Emily was diagnosed with breast cancer 2005. Craig was diagnosed with throat cancer shortly thereafter. Craig and Emily both fought the disease valiantly. We will always be grateful to Craig for taking such good care of Emily throughout her illness.
Craig was an integral part of our family. He especially loved our grandchildren. He was a philosopher at heart and generously shared his knowledge with everyone.
We loved Craig. We will miss him. May he rest in peace.
