Weather it was running a volunteer squad call with Craig, Craig coming out on a call as a medic, or picking him up at the bus stop and dropping him off at Lockheed, Craig always seemed to be in a good mood. He had a calm demeanor that we could use a lot more of.
May he rest in peace.

Craig, My time spent “growing up” with you at Arrowhead Lake was priceless. You were so witty, kind and a wonderful friend. My memories are flooding in when we both fell through the ice one winter and your quick actions got us out of trouble, holding my hair back when I was sick and driving way out of your way to pick me up when I was stranded. I am so not surprised that you made a career out of helping others. All my love as you go onto your next peaceful journey.
My deepest sympathy to Carolyn and Steve.

I was so sorry to hear of Craig passing. He was my first partner at Virtua. He was such a kind and patient man and an excellent mentor for a new medic. I have many fond memories riding with him. My condolences to his family. Jay Sen
I was so saddened to hear this news. Recently in the last few years I saw kopeys retirement and your vacations on facebook. Carolyn you both looked so happy. We had some crazy childhood days. I was always hoping we would have a reunion. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Maybe we will get a reunion of the girls one day soon. Peace.
