"Volunteering on RightRides/SafeWalk with Craig was the best introduction to Brooklyn I could have wished for. Back then I was coming out from Jersey every Thursday night, just to ride around and see Brooklyn and flier bars for safewalk, and hopefully get a beer with Craig and Veebs and maybe Nevy, Leah, or Ian at the end of the night.

Craig loved to ride, to hang out, to talk to people, and to get them home safe-- so what a perfect project for him...He figured there were people like him out riding around to bars anyway, so why not organize them to do what he loved: walk people home safely after a night of partying.

With his volunteer spirit and totally infectious good will, he was a great organizer, even when he was a little disorganized :) A more kind, fun-loving, easy-going, open-hearted guy I never knew." - Rachel, SafeWalk volunteer '06

Craig, you will be incredibly missed. Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
