In his note to us, Steve Brown relayed some memories:

Rob Farnham shared the following recollection of his Fitch housemate and football teammate: “I will remember Craig with his understated demeanor, not easily impressed with other’s self aggrandizement and a good, solid sense of humor. He was very  thoughtful of others.” Fellow Buffalo surgeon Mike Rade remembered Craig as “a great husband and father. I always enjoyed our dinners together. He was quiet but a lot of fun to be around. I respected his medical acumen and his patients loved him. As a doc he really CARED and did a great job. “
