Having lived his life in Alexandria, VA, he was an avid sports fan and passionate supporter of the Washington Redskins, Capitals, and Nationals. Craig was beloved by all, young and old, human and furry. Craig could troubleshoot an electrical or computer problem with ease and took pride in pursuing his journeyman’s license and starting his own business. Craig was a fervent music lover who found comfort and solace in sharing his favorite lyrics with family and friends. Craig’s juvenile spirit and quick wit were unmatched and irreplaceable.
