I met Craig when he interviewed for his position at Viking Industries in New Castle He impressed me immediately with his winning smile and positive attitude. Because of these attributes and his keen intellect and great work ethic, he became a team leader rapidly. He gained the respect of all those he led and worked shoulder to shoulder with, young and old. We were a tightly-knit group, and we have tried to remain in touch over the years following the closing of the business we all worked so hard for. I took special interest in him, as I have a son of the same age, and Craig will always hold a special place in my heart. If there is anything you should know about Craig, it was that he was loved and respected by everyone who knew him. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to Craig's family. I met Craig in 2005 I believe when we worked at Viking in New Castle. I remember him as being kind and always eager to help. He had a beautiful smile and when I ran in to him in town he was always friendly and thoughtful. The last conversation we had was about his dogs that he adored. May God give you all comfort during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Craig at Progress Rail for a few years. He was a smart kid, who had boundless energy, and the ability to juggle multiple projects and worked As long as he needed to to help deliver a good product to our customer.

He always spoke so lovingly of his wife, and my heart goes out to her and his family at this sad time.

Dannielle and Darby, please accept my sincere sympathy for each of you during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of knowing Craig when he was young, as he tutored my daughter BreAnn shortly after he graduated. I wish I had the words to express my sadness of hearing of his passing, but I do not. Please know you are both in my prayers.

Sara Weeks - friends of the Gaff family and Zell family.

I have great memories of Craig. We rode the bus together every day for a very long time. I remember him bringing in MRE's and we would sample to peanut butter and cheese on the crackers while we rode to school. Craig always made everyone he was around smile and had a positive impact on my life. I am sending my sympathy to Darby and the rest of the family. Craig was a great person and his memory will live on forever.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Craig whilst on secondment from Perth, Western Australia several years ago. Craig's enthusiasm and zest for life, professionalism and work ethic drew people to him. Spent several nights with Danielle and Craig having dinner in Muncie and talking about their dreams and life together. He will be sadly missed amongst the visiting team from Australia, may you now Rest in Peace

My heart grieves at the passing of Craig. I'm remembering the twinkle in his eye, his wonderful smile and an ornery personality that was so full of love. May God grant you strength, comfort and peace.
