Craig's Love, Faith and Journey. He wore around his neck at all times save for his treatments.

We should all experience someone looking out for us like my big brother Craig did for me. What a gift he was throughout our life together. I've never experienced such love, at times when I truly needed it, and thus have never experienced such pain, throughout his illness and passing. Peace and love to you Bubba.

To the Snedeker family,
Sandy and I wanted to share our thoughts and prayers regarding the passing of Craig. Sandy and I were married in October 1987 and soon thereafter moved into our new townhouse in Centreville, VA. Craig moved in a few weeks later as our next door neighbor and we became fast friends. Craig was the one who introduced us to the Birchmere. One anecdotal story, in August of 1991, our first son Ryan was born. I had to go into work the next day and the our newborn was still at the hospital in intensive care. Craig drove Sandy to Fairfax hospital (although I think he thought he was taking her to Fair Oaks hospital) so she could be with our son, Ryan. We are forever grateful for his kindness. And while it has been quite awhile since we have seen Craig, we will not forget our friendship from the early days, when we were all a lot younger :).
Cheers,
Tim and Sandy Smith

Snedeker family,
Sorry I won’t be at the reception today, but you are in my thoughts. I will definitely be with you at the internment back home in Ohio. Craig has been one of my best friends for over 50 years. I’ll always treasure the memories from Coshocton, to Miami U, to DC, and the Eastern Shore. I will share some of those in other posts to this site.
My deepest sympathy,
Jon Rucker (Ruck)

Craig and I worked together for many years at Comverge and Itron and he was a mentor and close friend…almost like a brother to me. We both have two daughters, a loving family, worked for the same company, and spend many wonderful years working together. I feel a great loss with Craig gone now and will miss him dearly. Lots of prayers to Amy, Kate and Caroline and his entire family and will see you at the celebration of his wonderful life! RIP Craig!

Craig was an amazing man I adored. He had so much joy for life, kindness, appreciation and of course lots of great humor to share during my cable days at Home Team Sports when he was with Cox. My love and condolences go out to his beautiful and supportive family. Rest in peace sweet man. OXOX

Deepest condolences to the Snedeker family, Craig was a great guy. We worked together at Media General Cable of Fairfax in the early '80's- he was my Sales Manager. He led by example and rewarded effort. If you were over quota, you could drive up to the window in his office and he would hand your new territory to you and exhort you with a "Keep it up!" A couple of years after I left Media General, I bumped into Craig at a concert at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. I introduced my girlfriend (who would later become my wife). My wife is from Beaver Falls, PA. She squealed and screamed out "you were our paper boy!" Small world. We had fun catching up that night before the show. I remember Craig as kind, funny, to-the-point and willing to tolerate some nonsense if you performed. God bless your family, I'm sure his kindness and love are deeply embedded within you.

Sned visited me, Fran and our 3 kids, ages 4 to 9 or so. He brought flowers for Fran and Nestle Crunch Ice Cream Bars for the kids. (I told him, "You know they're too young to vote, right?" He said, "You're kidding - what a waste of money!") Later, the kids came up to say thanks and goodbye, dutifully waiting until he had driven away (as he had directed them) before saying, "Uncle Craig said he gives his kids ice cream every day, and he thinks you should, too!"
Fran whispered to me, "He doesn't have kids yet, right?" I said, "Not yet. Maybe we should give him ours."
He would bring Kate and Caroline over years later, but only once. Hmmm, probably because we didn't offer them ice cream. (Sorry ladies!)

Craig and I shared an apartment with my older brother Ed (who was also a fraternity brother of us both). We shared season ticket to the Georgetown Hoyas basketball games while Patrick Ewing was the star player there.
We got to witness the game of the century in college basketball - about 12 rows back - when Ewing and UVA's Ralph Sampson faced off! It was another example of how Craig lived life LARGE, always finding excitement, and often creating it, and forever making others feel they were important. Even his pranks made me know that he cared enough about me to pull one over on me!
For nearly 50 years, I always wanted to get together and hear what fantastic and unusual stuff he was up to lately. Miss you, brother!

Craig brought two girls over to introduce me at a party. Then he went to get the girls and me drinks. He brought them back, making sure I took the one with the hole he had poked in the side near the bottom of the styrofoam cup. When he returned with his drink a minute later, he shouted, "Spence! What's going on, man?! Are you peeing your pants?! Have you never talk to girls before?!"

I was delivering the school newspaper (2x a week) while Sned and I were at Miami University together, when one day I came running out of a building to jump into the [borrowed] car I used to cover the whole campus . . . and it was GONE. It was between classes and among the throngs of students moving in every direction, I could hear Craig yell, "Head (his nickname for me and my Afro), you better hustle! You're gonna miss class!" I replied (with a brand new nickname for HIM that I can't write here) and found the car in the bushes, around the side of the building, still running. Just another day trying to keep up with the King of Pranks.
