Condolence: Dear Vandelist family,
I am so very sorry for your tragic loss. I pray your broken hearts are soothed by God’s future promises. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed way.” Revelation 21:4

Condolence: Craig, you were a mentor to me as I got my feet wet in private practice in Reno. Whether bouncing ideas or skiing or mountain biking, you are as real as gets. I really appreciated keeping in touch after I left Reno. Many years would go in-between, but great to see you no matter... So perhaps we have a few more years now. Until then.
All my prayers and thoughts to Gail and your family...

Condolence: It was so sad to learn of Craig's passing. We will always remember him as one of nicest and best residents to come through our anesthesiology program at the University of Arizona. I know his family will miss his bright spirit and generous soul. All our best from his anesthesiology family.

Condolence: Craig as I told the last time I saw you, when you were fighting a courageous battle with your disease, I will NEVER FORGET YOU.
First and foremost you were a great friend. We learned to whitewater kayak together and you being the better paddler (or at least the fearless one), would often lead into the rapids. Your happiness was infectious and just the sight of you made me smile and laugh. You were a great partner who could always be counted on.I will miss you my friend!

Condolence: Craig “Vandal” was a bright light in this world. I was on a couple heliskiing trips with him and witnessed his go for broke energy. He was flawless and quick-thinking in the OR. I will miss him— he left us too soon. My thoughts are with his family.

Condolence: Craig's locker is right next to mine at Renown. Always enjoyed chatting with him about college football when we met there. I was also very happy when he was doing the anesthesia for one of my patients. A wonderful doctor and human being. I will miss him very much. My deepest condolences to his family.

Condolence: I'm so sorry to read of the terrible loss of your dear Craig. It's not until we lose a loved one that we realize the truthfulness of 1 Corinthians 15:26 where it describes death as our enemy! However, it goes on to say that it will be destroyed. How nice it will be to welcome back our loved ones in Gods grand resurrection!
I hope this small thought is a bit of comfort to you at this time.
Warm regards, Beth
