For the short time that Craig was with us, he has left an most favorable impression on everyone with whom he has come in contact. I admired Craig for the concern he had for our students and humanity in general. Craig was the epitomy of a Christian. He not only talked the walk, he walked the walk. It comforting to know that Craig is now being rewarded for all of the wonderful deeds he did during his short time on this earth. Rest in peace my friend.

Craig was an amazing man of God! He loved Jesus with all his heart! It was an honor to serve with him going to the streets in cities of America and Mexico to share the gospel to folks! Craig was an amazing giver, as well! He sowed shoes, soccer balls and toys into the precious children in Mexico. I will miss you my friend, but we will be reunited in Heaven! I promise to help reach as many souls as I can!

Craig, I'm so sorry you left us. You are so missed already. Though we are cousins as mom and I are cousins, your family and mine were so close since you were born. I'm comforted knowing you are with Jesus and will be one of his angels. I'm proud of the man you grew to be and the work you have accomplished here on earth. May God keep you in his care. Love You.

Craig was wonderful human being and my life is better for having known him. It seemed like he was always smiling and was a joy to work with. I will so miss our conversations. He was very proud of his daughter and loved his family so much. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us.

I only had the privilege of knowing Mr. Andersen for a short time but the impact he had on me will not be short-lived. His sense of humor and passion for what he did could make even the most timid person instantly feel welcomed as a friend. My deepest condolences go out to his family during this time. I want you to know that the positive impact that he had on myself and others will continue indefinitely.

Craig was one of my favorite professors here at UWF. He was the truth behind what an instructor is supposed to be. He would go above and beyond to make sure you understood material and never approached your question with dismissal. He also took the time to get to know his students. We talked for hours about all kinds of things. One of the greatest things he told me when I did poorly on an exam was, " Gorman, you can cry about spilled milk, or you can clean it up". He was all about, do your best all the time and your best will be enough. Craig was not only a great professor, but a great friend for the three years I was able to know him. He was liked by a lot of students and everyday we hoped he would pull through. I lost my grandfather to stage four liver cancer last year, so I understand what the family is going through. I hope Craig's family is doing well. We at the campus miss him dearly and are working to get his office named after him. He was an important figure.

There are times when you come across a person who forever leaves a mark in your life . You Craig were one of them. You leave me with a smile for the person you were, the memories from Camp Hope, and our last walk with a buddy. No words were spoken, but it was a journey that will never be forgotten. You will be missed.

I met Craig at Camp Hope when I was 13. I count him among the great group of friends who came to me through that wonderful place. He always had us laughing and enjoying ourselves. I'm blessed to have known him.

The most I remember about Craig, is how we bonded during the summers we had on Staten Island. My cousin and big brother showing me the ways of city life.. His support in allowing me (his coutry bumpkin) of a cousin how to get along in the Big Apple.. During this time ours families were so close.. He was so proud to introduce me to his daughter, How proud they were of her. Over the years, we grew apart. But, I will never forget how He felt (so proud) of Carly.. Scott Thornton
