Pammella Jones lit a candle in memory of Tony Craig
Tony, my cousin and I go way back; after all our families camped together every weekend since we were very young. My uncle his dad was an easygoing person and was a quiet man most of the time. Tony's personality was very dynamic. Often we would go head to toe about little things and it was a lot like that country song "Don't take the Girl" as we got older and fought for fishing spots. I think he grew up a lot faster than I did because he was content to hang with the men and I missed my pal. One camping day he got mad because I poured water on his head trying to get him to come and play and well in the end we had a fight. His gentler side showed up in his teens when I freaked out because the carburator of my car caught on 🔥. I called Uncle Wendell but He was gone and Tony showed up and put out the fire. Since than we made up and he's a very bright star in our family we will all love and miss.
Forever your cousin
Pammella.
Tony was my cousin and a great friend. I watched him grow up and mature into a good man. We hunted, fished and golfed together for many years. I miss his laugh and good nature. RIP Tony, you did good. 🙏
Thank you Calvin and Kristin for trusting me with your father's story. May you find peace through the love of family and friends at this very difficult time. Carrie Miller, Celebrant
