Every single conversation I had with Craig over the years (and I had many) centered around his family; I have never met a man who was so completely in love with and proud of his family the way Craig was. Every story he told about each of you was full of love and laughter. He taught me everything I know about being a baseball parent, including how to gracefully get kicked out of a game hahaha. He taught me the ins and outs of being a CCHS parent as well. Our CCHS family has lost a great member. God bless you all; Trish, Paige, Jake, Deanna and beautiful baby Santina, his pride and joy. I will never forget this wonderful man.

What else is there to say about Craig other than we just lost a wonderful person; just a great human being. Having the pleasure to have known Craig over the years was so beneficial in so many ways. Craig was an outstanding citizen of our community, a dedicated coach and Craig was a tremendous baseball and softball official. On behalf of my entire family, I offer my heartfelt sympathy to the entire Creamer family. I am just devastated over your loss and I am sure he will be missed by so many. Rest in Peach my friend; May the Good Lord be with you and yours! "Semi"

I will truly miss his laugh, his smile, his words of advice when he coached. Watching him and how proud he was pd Paige. Everything he has done will never be forgotten. He went down swinging. Never took the third strike. Love y'all.

Our hearts are heavy and tears have been shed but that has not kept us from laughing at all of the crazy adventures that we had. We met the Creamers two years ago and after approximately seven or eight conversations, he just says ( Hey, I have brain cancer, after my surgery I will meet you in Florida to watch the girls ply ball. He had his surgery and a week later, we were all on the ball field watching our girls. After watching this man for the week, I was in amazement of how strong and larger than life this man was. Not only did he have a positive attitude, Trish was just as strong and positive. My family will always cherish our time with the Creamers. REST IN PEACE OUR FRIEND.LOVE ALWAYS!!!!

His sense of humor was contagious, and I still tell jokes that he shared with me years ago. Craig will be truly missed by all whose lives he touched. Rest in peace my dear brother.Love,Jeff & Vicki
