In 1989, I met a bashful skinny guy who brought me some of the most dynamite advertising art I ever saw. I hired him and worked with Craig for 10+ years and

enjoyed every bit of his company and ever day respected his ability more.

I am proud to have called him my pal.

What a great guy. God rest his soul and

I hope to see you again pal.

To my dear cousin, Craig;



How were we fortunate enough to end up with four artists all in the same family? A life ended is inevitably sad, and to lose your inexplicable gift of artistic creativity makes it even more so. We make the world a more beautiful place with our offerings, and your gift was taken far too soon.



I remember you as the smallest one of us, the quietest, but never letting the gang of all us McAndrews together overlook you, whatever we were doing as a group of rowdy kids.



Your talent and your memory will live on in our whole family...missed by so many...but remembered with love and smiles by us all.



Your cousin, Kate (McAndrew) Kersten
