08 Nov 2005 Craig, You were one of the guys in school who everyone admired. Football player, athlete of the year, handsome guy who made a lot of girl's hearts flutter. I remember you had a pretty good sense of humor, too. I was gone from Lakewood when you went into the Army and I didn't hear about your death until about six months after it happened. I was always sad I couldn't come to your funeral. You left a big hole in a lot of people's hearts. You'll always be remembered. I just wanted to make sure you were memorialized on this The Virtual Wall, too. From a schoolmate, Susan Moore E-mail address is not available.

28 Sep 2007 My friend Craig, this is Richard, an ole chum who knew you from Cerritos College. I too was in Vietnam at the same time you were, left the states in December 68 also. I still have the letters you sent me while I was going to boot camp and training. This I remember: because your letters were on Army letterhead and since I was in the USMC my DI would get mad, especially when you would put "Army Kicks Ass" on the outside. I think you did that to get me in trouble. When I had a chance to call home in March of 1969 my mother told me you had passed. I had often wondered if we would ever cross paths - well, that never happened but hey, one day we will. I've had a fairly good life; I did get hurt overseas and got out on a medical in 1971. I often go by and see you at Rose Hills ... I finally found you. It's a good feeling to sit there and think of the old days, my GTO and your SS Chevelle, we were styling in those days. Well, my friend, I could sit here and write forever, but one thing for sure is that I do think of you often - like whenever I hear a Johnny Mathis song. Till the day - Your Buddy, Richard Richard A.
