1977: "The Magical Year of Destiny". That's how Tim and I jokingly described the year we met. It was at the Native American House, back then a white colonial house on the edge of the Dartmouth College campus. The NAD House was a residence and cultural center for meetings, dinners and dances (TIm was often the DJ). I was living there at the time. Tim would send up a spray of gravel as he turned his Maverick Grabber into the driveway for meetings--the Detroit Kid had arrived. We were both from Michigan, so that was a natural connection. He was funny, witty and loved puns as much as I did. We also shared a passion for classic and foreign films. Tim did FSA in Salamanca and I did LSA in Granada, so we talked about Spain, too. We really got to know each other carpooling to Michigan on breaks--and to meet each other's families. Mine was large, loud and liberal; Tim's was the opposite, though Tim was not conservative like his parents. Once, just before setting off on a return trip, my Grandmother, who was charmed by Tim's father, whispered to me, "Stick with this one, he's got a good family." Though it struck me funny at the time, Tim and I did indeed end up sticking together for 44 years! So much shared history, coast to coast, north, south, and abroad. Together we created Clinton, our cherished son. We stuck together "in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer," together at the very end, holding hands till death parted us. Adios, Timoteo.

My wife Noreen met Tim working at Landmark Films in LA back at the dawn of the 80s. Before long we were hanging with Tim and Therese all the time, going out for cheap Mexican food, parties movies, and seeing all the great LA bands of the era. (X, Blasters, Los Lobos etc.). Eventually we moved into the same apartment building joining them and another couple we were all friends with in a hipper version of “Melrose Place” but in mid Wilshire.
Later on we moved east, as did Tim and Therese, and we all got busy starting families. Tim and I would catch up over lunch in the 90’s talking sports, family, music and movies.
We moved back to LA in 99 and we stayed in touch on Facebook. It’s been a long time since I had seen him, but I remember him fondly as smart, sweet, and funny.
My condolences to Clinton and Therese.
May his memory always be a blessing. xo

I met Tim when I was working at Fox Searchlight and he was one of the lawyers at Frankfurt Kurnit who was working with us. Tim was always so kind and happy, even when we were all under a lot of pressure to get too much done in too short a time. Tim was definitely one of the good guys. Thank you, Tim, for giving the gift of life to others. My deepest condolences to Tim’s family. Tim, good guys are few and far between these days; you will be much missed. As we of the Jewish faith say upon the passing of special people: May his memory be always a blessing.

I was Tim's roommate in a very (very) small cinderblock room freshman year at Dartmouth. He and I shared that time of transition and became good friends. Although we did not stay in touch after college, I can still hear his laugh and see his smile, and his thoughtfulness and kindness still resonate.
I learned a lot from Tim as we spent our freshman year together, figuring out how to make our way as emerging adults. One thing that he and I used to kid about was music - I was a jazz snob, but Tim was determined to teach me the greatness of soul singer Al Green, a large poster of whom graced our very small room. The Detroit Kid loved his Detroit music.
Tim was an involved and caring person - involved in the film society, the Native Americans at Dartmouth, the radio station, even the dorm coffeehouse. Everything I saw him do, he made it better. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and a good good heart. My heart goes out to Tim's family in this sad time.

My condolences to Therese, Clinton, Connie, Julia and all the Craig family. I first met Tim and Therese in the early 80s in Los Angeles when my then boyfriend John and I Iived in the apartment across the hall from them. We became fast friends and, as we were all relatively new to the city, we subsequently shared many "LA" adventures, parties, dinners, laughter and tears. I remember Tim from those days as full of ambition for his chosen profession, the law, and with a great zest for life! He and Therese were a great match and obviously an enduring one, despite life's roadbumps. Even though we lost touch over the years, thanks to Facebook, I was able to keep up with some of Tim's activities, and despite the passing years, still felt a kinship, so his loss is great and palpable. RIP Tim.

I met Tim late in both our careers when he was working with Hallmark Entertainment and I with the Hallmark Channel. He was a true professional - very smart and a terrific lawyer and an innovative problem solver. In its final years of existence, Hallmark Entertainment had many problems to solve, placing extraordinary demands on its legal team.. Despite the fact that both our companies bore the Hallmark name, Hallmark Entertainment was in the process of divorcing itself from Hallmark Cards and relinquishing control of the Hallmark channels which it had created. As part of the divorce, the Hallmark Channel had acquired rights to a 600 title library formerly owned by Hallmark Entertainment and, as is often the case with large libraries, there were many claims and other legal issues that came with these films, such as imperfect chains of title and profit sharing and residuals claims. Despite the many other demands on his time, Tim was always available to help us obtain the background information that we needed and provide guidance on how to deal with these claims. His command of the law and his extraordinary effectiveness in applying it to solve the many problems put before him was much admired by everyone who dealt with him. And what was especially impressive was that he accomplished all this in a quiet, unassuming manner without fanfare or self-aggrandisement. Unfortunately, I never got to know him on a personal basis so I was never aware of much of his life outside Hallmark. But but having read his obit, I'm not surprised that his accomplishments outside his job were equally impressive. He certainly led an extraordinary life.. I'm very proud to have known him.

My sincere condolences go out to Tim's family. One of the things I treasure the most about attending U of D High was getting to know people like Tim. He will truly be missed. I have never met a finer person. It's a sad day for all of us!

We members of the Partycipatory Class of 1979 are saddened to lose Tim Craig, an active undergraduate who participated fully in a variety of programs of noted importance Native Americans at Dartmouth. I will forever remember the good camaraderie of the softball games vs. the Native American's at Dartmouth when Tim played for them and they chanted Go NADs when they were at the plate! Personally disappointed I didn't get to know Tim during my long run in the media business or our short stint in Chatham but hopefully I'll get to meet him someday and we'll have a few things to catch up on ...and remember Go NADS!

My condolences to Therese, Clinton and family members. Having worked at the Native American Program at Dartmouth College for eight years I grew to know Tim and Therese, and as with the other students, considered them family! He had a great smile with a twinkle in his eye and was a great basketball player in the NAD Intramural games. We had many occasions for all to get together on a social level and we truly were family. I will keep him in my prayers for his journey now as well as strength for Therese and Clinton. With love and prayers. Karen Wright
