My heart is heavy........
Vaya con dios, mi amigo Craig.
Go with God, my friend Craig. Your Pontiac enthusiasm and shared knowledge were a guiding light in the infancy of MY obsession with all things Pontiac, and in my whole family's continuation of the Pontiac 'disease'. You will be missed. Kelly & Joseph in Vega$ |

Craig told me of his Apollo and DSP days, and we discussed his engine parametric calc files that he turned into "applets". Got a bunch of such files from Craig.
Had hoped to motivate him to develop an inertial energy calc for front dampers, flywheel/converter to reduce or optimied the torsionl damping, would lead to rattler optimization. Craig had the interest but it was not in the priority list. |

I bought the HO books in the '60's. Read them many times. These guys really helped us understand Pontiac engines. Never got the meet them, but am thankful for their contributions to our hobby.
RIP Craig.

So sorry to read this. The HO articles and the books really helped me in my early Pontiac life! Read them over and over. Still have the fingerprint and grease stained books.
RIP Craig (and Kern) and thank you for what you gave to our community. You will be missed. |

I still have all their books and newsletters. The one thing I really enjoyed was the large wall charts for different size engines,all the codes and specs. Craig and Kern did a very good thing for the Pontiac hobby.Before them it was a little in mags and Motion booklets. Much gratitude.

Very sad to hear about Craig. He was so fired up about his Packard Project and the mods he had made to the car and engine.
We talked many times about the different parts of the assumed final vehicle. I knew that he was sick for a period of time so the phone calls dropped off this year. Rest in Peace Craig, sorry I never got to meet you and Kern O in person. Happy I was able to me Ken C a couple of times at Pontiac Events. He was so happy when he was able to speak at one of Steve B's events. His friend really liked the show too. Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
