To the family George and Joy Craig Sr. 
I am so sorry for the  loss of your precious son. I saw the obituary in  the HRPOA newsletter and knew immediately it was our long ago neighbor across the street on Riderwood. My son Jon Bartosh and your Craig had so many fun adventures on that street. 
My deepest condolences, 
Nancy Bartosh.

We will  continue to  pray for you as you travel the road of grief.Our sincere condolences. The Skinner Family

I am at a loss for words....May you find strength & peace during this tough time.   Deepest Sympathies Michelle & Family.

George was my very first official date when I was 15.  He came to pick me up and my dad told him to sit down and listen to HIS rules for dating his daughter.  I never saw George so scared.  We went to Larry’s Mexican Restaurant in Richmond and then he took me home and gave me a kiss on the cheek and said goodnight.  He listened to my dad...lol.  

My thoughts and prayers are with Bradley and his family and friends.  I pray that God will comfort you in your time of need.  

RIP George! 🙏🏽 

George always had a smile. I just remember seeing him in the halls with all the popular people but when he walked by me, he would smile. Kinda made a nobody feel important. He will be a person that will be missed by alot of people, but knowing where he is now, I am sure the people in heaven are smiling knowing that they got another angel. Rest in peace my smiley friend!

My sincerest condolences. I knew George in high school. Gracious, kind and caring- and he was just a kid!  Praying for the family and friends. I’m so sorry for your loss. God Bless y’all. 

I first met George when he was a probationary police officer and assigned to me to be trained Westside Command Station. We immediately jelled and in time became very good friends and have been so since.  He was a dedicated father and an extremely loyal friend that was always willing to talk during one's time of need.  He loved life, law enforcement, family, friends and the outdoors.  I will always cherish the memories of the great times we had on the streets together, going hunting together, and the times you joined us during some of our family parties. You are like a brother to me and I will always miss you,  "Gone but not forgotten." God called back one of his protective angels and I rest well knowing you will always be there to watch my back.  Rest in peace brother, you deserve it.

I’m so sorry to hear about George’s passing. I have such good memories of the great times and awesome food at Christmas and other family events at The Craig’s. Thank you George for alway’s making me feel like family!  Thinking of all you with much love & prayers.                                                Sheree Higby

Dear Brad,

I am so sorry for your lost.  George was a good man, and in my heart I know he is in heaven with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  Brad you will get through this as long as you lean on your Faith, Family, and Friends.      

My thoughts and prayers are with George's family during this difficult time. George was a good man and will deeply missed. It was an honor to have served with him. Please accept my sincere condolences and may God grant you strength in the days ahead.

George was a good man.  We worked together for 4 years.  The squad could always depend on George getting the job done whatever it took.  He was always up to the task and would step up his game no matter what the obstacle.  Also, I found him to be a man of his word.  He proved this to me a number of times and on some difficult issues.   After George retired, I stayed in contact with him.  During our lengthy discussions, he always spoke of his law enforcement career.  He did well at what he loved.  We had discussions about God and about Jesus.  He shared some of his faith with me.  George had strong opinions on God and accepted Jesus as his Savior.   

May God grant George eternal peace and salvation.  I pray that Jesus will comfort his family in their time of need.     

I’m am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with George’s family. 

I had the pleasure of being his neighbor for several years.  I remember him firing up the grill in preparation of of Hurricane Ike in 2008. He said, "since we are going to lose power we might as well cook up all this meat!"  In doing so, he must have cooked 50 lbs of briskets and chickens. 

So we ate, chicken, brisket and watched the skies as the Hurricane blew in. 

Once the serious rains and winds came,  we all hunkered down and waited for the worst to pass. Next, day,  we celebrated the fact our neighborhood was in tact and we had plenty to eat. 

Nothing but the best thoughts and prayers

I was very sad to hear of George’s passing.  George was always a real  nice person,  and I enjoyed working with him.  I pray that you rest in eternal peace, George. 

Our hearts were saddened to hear of George's death.  We loved him as our neighbor and were sorry when he moved away.  To the Craig family, we offer our deepest sympathy and pray you feel the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ as he comforts you in this time of sadness. 

My favorite memory of George is how serious he was about cooking. When you went to his home he always made you feel welcomed and would treat you like you were at a 5 star restaurant. I know he loved being a cop and missed it  through all the stories he shared. He will be truly missed.  I know God has restored his health and made him new again.
My condolences to his family.
RIP George....

Knew George well, used to work with him. Great guy. He could crank out some good BBQ. So sorry for your loss.

I worked with George in the old squad 15.  George was a solid guy and I enjoyed talking with him.  George is going to be missed.  My condolences to the family.  RIP George. 

My heart and prayers go out to George Craig and his family. George, your fun loving attitude and commitment to duty will long be remembered. 

God Bless and rest in peace, Hector.

We are so sorry about  your loss. We are forever grateful that George took in a stray dog  ( and gave home to us )that has given our home so much joy.
