From: Jake

Craig was an incredible person, he constantly told me he'd love to work with me, and gave me his total support.

I appreciated that more than I probably ever really let him know.

I only knew Craig for a short time and never did get the chance to work with him, but I will always remember him and be thankful for the conversations and laughs we've shared.

To the Bauer family, my condolensces. Be proud of the man he was and the lives he touched. He will be missed.

I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Craig was such a kind and soft-spoken man with a ready smile and great deal of wisdom. Just thinking of him warms my heart and brings a smile. Though we didn't see much of each other, I will miss him. My prayers go with you always, but especially now as you make the transition to life without his physical presence.

It will be the little things
that you will remember; the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now,
it will be the memory of these little things that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again. Craig was a friend, cousin and classmate of mine. He always had a smile. He will be truely missed.

From: Paul McCullough

I was very sadden to here of Craigs death. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sandra, and his family.
I had the opportunity to attend the FBI NA with Craig in the winter of 2005. For 10 weeks I had the pleasure of having Craig in my Computer class and he always had a happy greeting and grin on his face. He talked alot of about his family and "Gods" country North Dakota. He was a great man. It was my pleasure to meet him and spent 10 weeks with him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Greg, Nancy and Carly Fjeld

We am thankful we had the opportunity to get to know Craig and your family. Craig left an impression on us which we will remember for a long time.

He was a kind, thoughtful, loving and caring man. We will always remember "the wave"(or at least threatening to do the wave) at the volleyball games and our fun Margarita party at the Coughlins.

Our prayers are with your family. Craig may be gone but he will not be forgotten. He lives on in all the memories you hold in our hearts.

In friendship,

Greg,Nancy and Carly

I work for the ND Attorney General's Office. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Craig but have heard many wonderful things about him.

The road will be long and hard but remember God still has a plan for your life and look to Him for the strength you will need.

My sincerest condolences to Craig's family. I worked with Craig for a couple of years in Minot doing task force work. He was easy to become friends with and I knew him to be a professional. Please take some solace in the knowledge he was well regarded, respected and trusted by his peers, and he will be remembered fondly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Ginny Peterson

I've known Craig since he started with BCI many years ago. I always enjoyed getting a phone call from him and visiting when he was at the Bismarck office. Over the years, the conversations would always be about family and the latest on what our kids were up to, as they are the same ages. Craig thought the world of all of you and shared that with others, and he was absolutely great to work with. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I think about you guys all the time. I hope everyone is slowly healing and I pray that someday we will all understand why such a great guy had to be taken so suddenly from us. To Sandy and family I hope to keep in touch and to my Auntie Pimple and Uncle Billy...I love you so and hope you know it hurts me too to know you are all in so much pain. I keep Craig's picture up on a shelf in our room right now here in Rochester as I know he's looking down on us and will put a good word in for my little girls. I pray you all find peace and my love always.
