Only now learned of Craig’s passing. I enjoyed working with him at TMSI in the early ‘90s. He was an inspiration & good friend to me, helping me establish my own consulting company.
My condolences to his family, who welcomed me during my time spent in Texas.
I have fond memories of Craig’s engineering and drive to succeed.
I had a number of business dealings with Craig in the 80's . A man of knowledge a thorough gentleman . He will surely be missed

I am just learning of Craig's passing... what an incredible man, a wealth of expertise in the OCTG field and just a great human being. While it has been 4 years since I last saw him in Texas, he will always be one of the most professional men I ever worked with... Sincerely Michael K.

I sadly just learned of Craig’s untimely passing. Our thoughts are with Susie and family. I first met Craig when he started his trepanning business servicing Lone Star Steel during the seventies. Later, after relocating to Houston, Craig continued to be a considerable influence, both personally and professionally, for the next 10-15 years. During my retired years I occasionally stopped by TMS in Longview to see Craig and Susie, both of whom never failed to treat me like family. Craig, a kind and gentle person as well as a genius in his own right, will surely be missed. Thank you, Craig, for your wisdom and friendship. Pete Donaldson
Craig was one of the kindest, most generous and determined person I’ve ever known. He endured many medical obstacles along his life but always remained such an optimistic person. Mike an I met him in the 90’s and there is no room to recount all my memories of traveling with Susie and Craig. He and I worked on many committees together and there were always fun togethers at all our friends houses. He will be missed very much but he is in peace. My memories of him will last forever.
Susie, you are in my thoughts and prayers

When I was as young, I was unsure of Craig. As I grew up, I realized how kind and amazing he was. He was so special to his Aunt Grace and Uncle Bill, they dearly loved him and was so proud of all that he accomplished in his life! Heaven gained an amazing angel to watch over all his family here, and he is rejoicing with his family above. Love and prayers for all the Cave families. Shelley (Brown) Stroup
Dear Susie: I am so sad to hear of Craig’s passing. I truly admired him and was so touched that he came to my retirement party last year. I have many good memories of times we spent with you both, and Bubba and Betty - including Mrs. White’s Kahula recipe! Praying God’s peace to you and all the family. Sincerely, Pam and Rich.

My deepest, deepest sympathy. I have such wonderful memories of times Jim and I spent with you and Craig in those early years. Craig’s smile is ingrained on my memory; his obit picture is perfect. Jim and Craig enjoyed an amazing work relationship—one that benefitted Tubular and Lone Star. I will pray for you as you navigate the ensuing months. His loss is a huge void, but I am glad he is at rest with our Heavenly Father. Peace and comfort to you.
