Craig Richardson Obituary

My deepest sympathy to Sam, their children and all those who will miss him gravely. Working closely with Craig was an honor and I will hold memories of him close to my heart.

We are both New Trier classmates of Craig's and worked with him on our 50th reunion committee. We are sorry to hear about his death and send our condolences to the whole family.

May gentle thoughts and precious memories help to ease your sorrow.

Our sympathy to you Samantha,your children and grand- children.

To Samantha and the entire Family,

You meet many people in life and regardless of the time, place or moment they always leave an impression forever. There will never be a man like Craig! He left the impression on my life that no matter what you have or who you are in life its your life and it should be lived without a doubt to the fullest. I will miss him dearly and hold a place for him and his family in my heart forever. Try to have comfort in the fact that he was happy and content because he had a beautiful family and had no regrets. You will be in our prayers.

Dear Mrs. Richardson, Angela & family,



I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss. I have great memories of his kindness and generosity. A nicer man you could not find. I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that you will find comfort knowing that he will be remembered so fondly by so many.



My best to you always,



Mike LaFontaine

Dear Samantha and entire family...I had just met Craig for the first time at the Rally party a week before he died. He was so kind, showing me how his niece had painted the wine bottles on the napkins and inspired me to think about marketing my art. I was so shocked to hear...he was so kind even tho I only met him briefly...I have prayed for him and will continue to keep him in my prayers...as my folks are also in heaven now and many family and friends.

Please be consoled...they may not be coming back to us...but we're not staying here either...we'll all be together again someday. And watch for consolations from him....we've had many from our mom and dad and I'm sure you will too.

God bless all of you and may He send you comforts.
