  1. Craig was an absolute peach of a young man who never forgot his home City of Hartford, where he lived and did so well in his many school-related endeavors. He was such a role model for so many young students -- the tree and scholarship are a great way to remember him, Hyacinth. Maybe a bench, too?

    Craig was a wonderful person and someone I knew from working with HART when I was a police officer in the City and while employed at Trinity College while he was a student. A very good person and gone too soon.

    RIP
