I can't say I ever really knew Craig personally. He was always the friend of my older sisters, and when you're in Primary a ten-year age difference is rather more important than when you're in high school. However, he was the Primary chorister for a while, until he left on his mission, and in that duty he was one of the most capable people I remember. He made a great sock elephant to conduct with!
As the friend of my older sisters, he was always one of the nicest ones I knew, intelligent and witty and generally with a good attitude about things, and willing to put up with my occasional peskiness.
I last saw him about a year and a half ago, soon after he got his prosthesis. From what I saw in the fifteen minutes I stood in the kitchen listening to his and my sisters' conversation, he seemed somewhat more introspected, but as genial and capable as ever. I suppose that's partly why he started posting videos. Anyway, those are my memories of Craig.
He was a great guy, and always seemed part of the family in a friend-of-older-sibling sort of way. You could perhaps call us his dog-in-laws, both because he was such a good friend of the family, and because his dog gave birth to our dog. If dogs are part of the family, isn't that a legitimate connection?
