  • Very sorry to hear of Craig's passing! Even though I did not spend much time at all with any of you! Only knew you all growing up and again since Craig and Val's 25th wedding anniversary! My condolences! - Posted by: Cheryl (Sister) on: Jun 19, 2022

  • A kind friend is missed from our Kingdom Hall Bible Studies. Craig always had a special Scripture from his memory to comfort and encourage us all. We know he is only sleeping for a short time, until Jehovah God's will is done on this Earth, bringing the Paradise he purposed in the beginning with no sickness or death. Keep your Faith strong, Valerie and Cynthia. He loved his Family so much and will be looking for you all when he is resurrected. (John 5:28,29) - Posted by: John & Cindy.

  • I never knew Craig or his family except when my parents Bill & Mary Hudjik used to take me & my brother Laurence out in the ministry. I remember calling in 2nd Pine Ridge to a home not too far away from the electric power lines. I had to be less then 9 years old. When my cousin Harold Hudjik informed me of his death, he also told me that our grandmother Katherine Hudjik was a relative of the family. We strongly believe in the resurrection and look forward to meeting Craig and his family in the New World. May you as a family take comfort in Jehovah's promise recorded in Rev. 21:1-5. Christian Love, Leonard - Posted by: Leonard Hudjik (a far far off relative but a spiritual brother) on: Jan 01, 2015
