  1. I remember my interview with Larry and how he wanted to make sure that my husband and I would be able to make it to Laughlin for our Christmas Party. I knew then that it would be a pleasure to work for him, and it was. He will be missed.
    Love,
    Chris & Melody Austin

  2. I never actually worked with Larry, as he was in Riverside subsequently in Corona, while I worked out of Santa Ana, then Irvine, but we did run into each other more or less regularly. He was always upbeat and never far from making some humourous comment. With me, it usually had to do with his being a Marine while I was just a lowly Navy squid… He will be missed by us all.

    Deon & Russett, I had the privilege of knowing, respecting and serving Larry during the past fifteen years as his investigator. Col. Craig, the dashing Marine Corps officer, gentleman and gun ship driver had just enough salt to make him such a pleasure to be around. Larry was always great to work with showing respect and leadership.

    Larry helped me get back to my Marine Corps roots and I will always remember him for that. The last lines of the Marine Corps Hymn are:

    “°Ã¢”šÂ¬Ã…”Here’s health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve; In many a strife we’ve fought for life and never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven’s scenes; They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.”°Ã¢”šÂ¬Â

    Semper Fi, Lt. Col. Craig, we will see you again. God Bless.

  4. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. We used to golf together back in Mission Viejo.
    God Bless him and keep him

    Larry Craig is an Officer and a Gentleman. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for only little more than ten years; that is not very long for such an impact he has had on my life. When I think of Larry Craig I think of Honor, Duty, Country, Integrety, a Gentleman, a fellow Trojan and one hell of a guy. Larry will be remembered as as an honor to his profession, an honor the The Corps, and that it is an Honor to be called his friend. I miss him.
