Brenda and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I met Craig many years ago when he raced Go Karts at East Avon as a kid and later at the Rochester Street Rods. He will be missed greatly.

To Craig’s family, I met Craig when I was 4 years old when he came to Florida to visit. So honestly I did not know Craig but my Dad, Dave Kanicsar, was in Rochester Street Rods with him. I have a picture that I would like to share with the family if you can provide me an email address. I was actually looking for Craig on Facebook because I was going through my Dad’s old pictures and there was one of the two of them and I was trying to reach out to Craig. Unfortunately, I see I am 2 months too late. My Dad, Dave, passed away 2018. Anyways, I send my condolences to Craig’s family. Please advise if you have an email I can send his picture to. Thank you!
